Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm creating noise profiles for a camera and the results are dramatically different depending if I use electronic or mechanical shutter.
At the moment the code does not see to differentiate on shutter type metadata.
Describe the solution you'd like
Extend the metadata used by darktable to choose a noise profile based on shutter type.

Research direction
Start by locating darktable's camera metadata handling and the code that selects noise profiles. Trace how shutter type is represented for electronic and mechanical captures, then verify that each type can select its corresponding profile without changing existing behavior. Done means noise profiles differ correctly when the shutter metadata differs.
