libcamera: base: utils: Add abs_diff() utility function
The abs_diff() function computes the absolute difference of two elements. This may seem trivial at first, but can lead to unexpected results when operating on unsigned operands. A common implementation of the absolute difference of two unsigned int (used through the libcamera code base) is std::abs(static_cast<int>(a - b)) but doesn't return the expected result when either a or b is larger than UINT_MAX / 2 due to overflows. The abs_diff() function offers a safe alternative.
