media: mc: Add INTERNAL pad flag
Internal sink pads will be used as routing endpoints in V4L2 [GS]_ROUTING IOCTLs, to indicate that the stream begins in the entity. Internal sink pads are pads that have both SINK and INTERNAL flags set. Also prevent creating links to pads that have been flagged as internal and initialising SOURCE pads with INTERNAL flag set.

+ - The internal flag indicates an internal pad that has no external
+ connections. As they are internal to entities, internal pads shall not
+ be connected with links.
+
+ The internal flag may currently be present only in a sink pad where it
+ indicates that the :ref:``stream <media-glossary-stream>`` originates

One and only one of ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK`` and ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SOURCE``
must be set for every pad.
