libcamera: file_descriptor: Implement move semantics for constructor
The FileDescriptor class, when constructed from a numerical file descriptor, duplicates the file descriptor and takes ownership of the copy. The caller has to close the original file descriptor manually if needed. This is inefficient as the dup() and close() calls could be avoided, but can also lead to resource leakage, as recently shown by commit 353fc4c22322 ("libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Fix dangling file descriptor"). In an attempt to solve this problem, implement move semantics for the FileDescriptor constructor. The constructor taking a numerical file descriptor is split in two variants: - A "fd copy" constructor that takes a const lvalue reference to a numerical file descriptor and duplicates it (corresponding to the current behaviour). - A "fd move" constructor that takes a rvalue reference to a numerical file descriptor and takes ownership of it.
