Hey Ugo, Bill,

I have tested the linked branch. 2 issues:

* My BQ is running out of space and produces the "Low disk space"
warning when the camera app starts up. That seems to steal focus which
forces me to first swipe to the foto roll and back to the viewfinder in
order to fix the focus things.

* Second, don't ask me why, but that exact same selfie stick I tried
half a year ago, now seems to produce this keycode: 0x1008FF16 which
isn't listed in the Qt namespace. However, it is listed in xkbcommon-
keysyms.h and is mapped to XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPrev. To make things even
weirder, I have to add that this is on krillin. Last time I tested it on
flo. However, I retested it on flo right now and believe it or not, it's
XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMedia (0x1008FF32) now. I've also tested that same
stick on an iPhone, it will  increase the sound volume when the camera
app was not focused. So this means that the generated keycode depends on
the hardware drivers, in our case the Android HAL. Different devices and
versions of the Android image can change the produced keycode.

This makes me believe that we should just handle all common multimedia
keys in the camera app to trigger the shutter. If we add those keys, I
guess we should support most of the cases:

0x1008FF14 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPlay)
0x1008FF15 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioStop)
0x1008FF16 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPrev)
0x1008FF17 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioNext) 
0x1008FF31 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPause)
0x1008FF32 (XKB_KEY_XF86AudioMedia)

Qt::Key_MediaPlay       0x01000080      
Qt::Key_MediaStop       0x01000081
Qt::Key_MediaPrevious   0x01000082       
Qt::Key_MediaNext       0x01000083       
Qt::Key_MediaRecord     0x01000084       
Qt::Key_MediaPause      0x1000085
Qt::Key_MediaTogglePlayPause    0x1000086
