libcamera: camera: Handle camera objects through shared pointers

The Camera class is explicitly reference-counted to manage the lifetime
of camera objects. Replace this open-coded implementation with usage of
the std::shared_ptr<> class.

This API change prevents pipeline handlers from subclassing the Camera
class. This isn't deemed to be an issue. Mark the class final to make
this explicit.
