The standard controls for exposure and gains allow a
single value, for a single capture. For sensors with HDR
capabilities or context switching, this is not enough, so
add new controls that allow multiple values, one for each
capture.

Changes in v2:
Mention order inside array, from longest to shortest exposure
Mention not to implement the -single controls if -multi controls are implemented
