lc-compliance: Add a libcamera compliance tool

Add a compliance tool to ease testing of cameras. In contrast to the
unit-tests under test/ that aims to test the internal components of
libcamera the compliance tool aims to test application use-cases and to
some extent the public API.

This change adds the boilerplate code of a simple framework for the
creation of tests. The tests aim both to demonstrate the tool and to
catch real problems. The tests added are:

 - Test that if one queues exactly N requests to a camera exactly N
   requests are eventually completed.

 - Test that a configured camera can be started and stopped multiple
   times in an attempt to exercise cleanup code paths otherwise not
   often tested with 'cam' for example.
