Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces:
1. Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep()
Weaknesses:
a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals.
b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance.
2. Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay()
Weaknesses:
a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading.
3. New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep()
Strengths:
a. Does not depend on the signal framework.
b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead.
Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion.
Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules.
(This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.)

Most tools used for compliance and SBOM generation use SPDX identifiers
This change brings us a step closer to an easy SBOM generation.

When the value that is out of range is specified in ioctl(VIDIOC_S_CTRL) and
ioctl(VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS), returned value should be not EINVAL but ERANGE.
Change pin initialization timing for camera from board power on to camera device
power on for the following purposes.
- avoid unnecessary power consumption
- Make the corresponding pins available for other uses when camera is not in use
Rearchitect video driver:
- Define two video I/F(struct imgsensor_ops_s and struct imgdata_ops_s),
and support them.
- CISIF driver supports new video I/F struct imgdata_ops_s.
- ISX012 driver supports new video I/F struct imgsensor_ops_s.
- Move ISX012 driver to general driver directory.
This sensor driver needs rework to match the needed layout for standar NuttX driver.
In the meantime it is moved to board specific sensors to fix the violation.
