camerabin: add block-after-capture property for viewfinder blocking

Adds block-after-capture property to block running viewfinder after capturing.
This property is useful if application wants to display capture preview and avoid
running viewfinder on background.

Based on a patch by Tommi Myöhänen <ext-tommi.1.myohanen@nokia.com>
