[Bf-vfx] Tomato camera sensor changes

[Sergey I. Sharybin]

Hey, guys!

Looks like you misunderstand me.

I'm not against adding vertical FOV. I just don't want to rough such 
changes. This thing should be introduced in nice way to fit:

- Default Blender use-case (when it's used for 3d modelling and so). In 
this case i doubt user should care about sensor size, vertical FOV and so.
- Match-moving use-case (when we have to gather information about real 
camera and make match between modeled scene and footage). In this case 
information collected about real camera should correlate to what's 
supported with renderer. My project isn't related on improving renderer 
and so so currently i'm trying to stick to current design. Footage 
resolution + focal length + sensor width + pixel aspect was enough to 
make match between real camera and blender camera.
- AFAIK, current exporters are supposed to export scene in way, in which 
rendrered "outside" blender image would match image rendenered in 
Blender (from composition POV, not materials/lights ofcourse). So if 
vertical FOV would be used by exporters, it should be exposed into 
RNA/UI in a way, which wouldn't confuse default workflow.

Currently i'm working on a bit different stuff and i'd prefer stop you 
from telling "this feature is needed! No way if there'll be no this 
feature!". I know that it is needed, just i can't fork and work on 
several issues at the same time.
