The cam and qcam applications, as well as the camera capture test case,
access the Stream::bufferPool in order to know how many requests to
initially queue. As part of an effort to remove access to the buffer
pool from applications, use the buffer count from the stream
configuration instead.

The Buffer class is a large beast the stores information about the
buffer memory, dynamic metadata related to the frame stored in the
buffer, and buffer reference data (in the index). In order to implement
buffer import we will need to extend this with dmabuf file descriptors,
making usage of the class even more complex.
Refactor the Buffer class by splitting the buffer memory information to
a BufferMemory class, and repurposing the Buffer class to reference a
buffer and to store dynamic metadata. The BufferMemory class becomes a
long term storage, valid and stable from the time buffer memory is
allocated to the time it is freed. The Buffer class, on the other hand,
becomes transient, is created on demand when an application requires a
buffer, is given to a request, and is deleted when the request
completes.
Buffer and BufferMemory don't need to be copied, so their copy
constructor and assignment operators are deleted.

Commit b817bcec6b53 ("libcamera: Auto generate version information")
generates version information in order to automatically include it
various locations (Sphinx and Doxygen documentation, libcamera::version
variable available at runtime, and version.h available at compile time).
Unfortunately this causes lots of unnecessary rebuilds when modifying
the git tree state, which hinders development.
The problem is caused by the generated version.h being listed as a
dependency for the whole libcamera. This is required as meson (to the
best of my knowledge) doesn't provide a way to explicitly specify the
dependency of a single object file (camera_manager.o in this case, as
camera_manager.cpp is the only consumer of the generated version string)
on the custom target used to generate version.h. The dependency can't be
automatically detected at build time, like dependencies on normal
headers that are generated by parsing the source, because the version.h
header may not exist yet. The build could then fail in a racy way.
This change attempts at solving the issue by generating a version.cpp
instead of a version.h to set the git-based version. This minimises the
number of files that need to be rebuild when then git tree state
changes, while retaining the main purpose of the original automatic
version generation, the ability to access the git-based version string
at runtime. We however lose the ability to access git-based version
information at build time in an application building against libcamera,
but there is no expected use case for this.
The version string is moved from the libcamera namespace to the
CameraManager class in order to avoid including version.h inside
libcamera (in version.cpp and in camera_manager.cpp), which would create
dependencies causing more rebuild steps, as described above.
On the other hand, major, minor and patch level version numbers are
useful at build time. This commit changes the generation of version.h in
order to add three macros named LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MAJOR,
LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCAMERA_VERSION_PATCH for this purpose.
version.h is not included by any other libcamera header or source file,
and thus doesn't force a rebuild of the library.
The Sphinx and Doxygen documentation keep their git-based version
information, which is set during the configuration of the build and then
doesn't track git commits. We may want to investigate how to improve
this, but given that git-based version for the documentation has very
few use cases outside of tagging nightly builds, this isn't considered
an issue at the moment.
The documentation install directory now uses the base version string, in
order to avoid increasing the number of documentation directories
needlessly. This shouldn't cause any issue as the API should not change
without a change to the version number.
The version number generation and handling code now also standardises
the version variables to not start with a 'v' prefix in meson, in order
to simplify their handling. The prefix is added when generating the
relevant files.
Note that we go back to specifying the fallback version in the main
meson.build, in the call to the project() function. For the time being I
believe this should be a good compromise to avoid unnecessary
recompilation, and moving the fallback version to a different file for
tarball releases can be built on top of this.

This helps confirm the exact version of the library that is being used

Instead of manually adding the libcamera library and include path to
every target that requires it, declare a dependency that groups the
headers as source, the library and the include path, and use it through

To prepare for specialising the CameraConfiguration class in pipeline
handlers, return a pointer to a camera configuration instead of a
reference from Camera::generateConfiguration(). The camera configuration
always needs to be allocated from the pipeline handler, and its
ownership is passed to the application.
For symmetry, change Camera::configure() to take a CameraConfiguration
pointer instead of a reference. This aligns with our coding practice of
passing parameters that are modified by the callee by pointer.

Refactor the CameraConfiguration structure to not rely on Stream
instances. This is a step towards making the camera configuration object
more powerful with configuration validation using "try" semantics.
The CameraConfiguration now exposes a simple vector-like API to access
the contained stream configurations. Both operator[]() and at() are
provided to access elements. The isEmpty() method is renamed to empty()
and the methods reordered to match the std::vector class.
As applications need access to the Stream instances associated with the
configuration entries in order to associate buffers with streams when
creating requests, expose the stream selected by the pipeline handler
through a new StreamConfiguration::stream().

In order to prepare for an API overhall of the camera configuration

Rename the configureStreams() and streamConfiguration() methods to
configure() and generateConfiguration() respectively in order to clarify
the API. Both methods deal with CameraConfiguration objects, and are
thus not limited to streams, even if a CameraConfiguration currently
contains streams only.
While at it, remove the qcam MainWindow::configureStreams() method that
is declared but never defined or used.

It is not sustainable to add a new flag for every new video format
family (eg. YUYV, RGB, NV, MJPEG, etc), so add a formatFamily enum to

Note that formats are grouped into families based on if they are able to
share a set of parameters for conversion.

Instead of requesting the default configuration for a set of streams
where the application has to figure out which streams provided by the
camera is best suited for its intended usage, have the library figure
this out by using stream usages.
The application asks the library for a list of streams and a suggested
default configuration for them by supplying a list of stream usages.
Once the list is retrieved the application can fine-tune the returned
configuration and then try to apply it to the camera.
Currently no pipeline handler is prepared to handle stream usages but
nor did it make use of the list of Stream IDs which was the previous
interface. The main reason for this is that all cameras currently only
provide one stream each. This will still be the case but the API will be
prepared to expand both pipeline handlers and applications to support
streams usages.
