From: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.lad@xxxxxx> add V4L2_CID_DPCM_PREDICTOR control of type menu, which determines the dpcm predictor. The predictor can be either simple or advanced.

Changes for v3: 1: Added better explanation for DPCM, pointed by Hans. Changes for v2: 1: Added documentaion in controls.xml pointed by Sylwester. 2: Chnaged V4L2_DPCM_PREDICTOR_ADVANCE to V4L2_DPCM_PREDICTOR_ADVANCED pointed by Sakari.
