gstreamer: Implement renegotiation
This commit implements renegotiation of the camera configuration and source pad caps. A renegotiation can happen when a downstream element decides to change caps or the pipeline is dynamically changed. To handle a renegotiation the GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED return value has to be handled in GstLibcameraSrcState::processRequest(). Otherwise the default would be to print an error and stop streaming. To archive this in a clean way the if statement is altered into a switch statement which now also has a case for GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED. In the case of GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED every source pad is checked for the reconfiguration flag with gst_pad_needs_reconfigure() which does not clear this flag. If at least one pad requested a reconfiguration the function returns without an error and the renegotiation will happen later in the running task. If no pad requested a reconfiguration then the function will return with an error. In gst_libcamera_src_task_run() the source pads are checked for the reconfigure flag by calling gst_pad_check_reconfigure() and if one pad returns true and the caps are not sufficient anymore then the negotiation is triggered. It is fine to trigger the negotiation after only a single pad returns true for gst_pad_check_reconfigure() because the reconfigure flags are cleared in the gst_libcamera_src_negotiate() function. If any pad requested a reconfiguration the following will happen: 1. The camera is stopped because changing the configuration may not happen while running. 2. The completedRequests queue will be cleared by calling GstLibcameraSrcState::clearRequests() because the completed buffers have the wrong configuration. 3. The new caps are negotiated by calling gst_libcamera_src_negotiate(). When the negotiation fails streaming will stop. 4. The camera is started again.
