pipeline_handler: Add acquireDevice() function to mirror releaseDevice()
libcamera always keeps all /dev/video# and /dev/v4l2_subdev# nodes for a pipeline open after enumerating the camera. This is a problem for the uvcvideo pipeline handler. Keeping /dev/video# open stops the UVC USB device from being able to enter runtime-suspend causing significant unnecessary power-usage. Add a stub acquireDevice() function to the PipelineHandler class which pipeline handlers can override. The uvcvideo pipeline handler will use this to delay opening /dev/video# until the device is acquired. This is a special case because the kernel uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video# is opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline handlers.
