Add focal length presets

A couple of focal length presets based on Real life camera would help people achieve certain styles more quickly.

Not to suggest you should limit yourself to real life camera lengths, but just some good bases to start off

I don't understand what's the point of this, I simply move the camera and reframe (ctlr+alt+numpad 0), or wheel-scroll the focal length until the image is well framed; there's no reason to have a preset value while modifying the focal length, it doesn't make anything faster o simpler.

* @ThinkingPolygons * It's just that it doesn't have sense to have a preset value. Like I said, in my workflow, I just modify the focal length until the image fits. There's no reason to start from 50, and then go to 20 since the results are not predictable. Do you want to make the values scroll faster, that could be a point, but it should be for all the scrollable values. And anyway in this case mousewheel -scroll is faster than anything else.

* @giannife * 3d to photo/footage matching workflow needs those values to quickly check the right one.

* @Ge Ro * Please explain your workflow. I don't have much experience in blender, but from what I've seen other specific software is used before "blendering".
