libcamera: Rename 'method' to 'function'

Usage of 'method' to refer to member functions comes from Java. The C++
standard uses the term 'function' only. Replace 'method' with 'function'
or 'member function' through the whole code base and documentation.
While at it, fix two typos (s/backeng/backend/).

The BoundMethod and Object::invokeMethod() are left as-is here, and will
be addressed separately.
