Add a new option --list-ctrls-values to list the values of controls in
a format which can be passed again to --set-ctrl.
This can be useful to save and restore device settings:
$ v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls-values >settings.txt 2>/dev/null
$ v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl "$(cat settings.txt)"
The new option has been tested with the vivid driver and it works well
enough to be useful with a real driver as well.
String controls are not supported for now, as they may not be parsed
correctly by --set-ctrl if they contain a comma or a single quote.
