ipa: libipa: Introduce Algorithm class template

The algorithms are using the same function names with specialized
parameters. Instead of duplicating code, introduce a libipa Algorithm
class which implements a base class with template parameters in libipa,
and use it in each IPA.

As we now won't need an algorithm class for each IPA, move the
documentation to libipa, and make it agnostic of the IPA used. While at
it, fix the IPU3::Algorithm::Awb documentation.
