libcamera: software_isp: Handle signals in the proper threadHEADmaster

inputBufferReady ready signal in the simple pipeline is handled in the
pipeline handler thread.  outputBufferReady and ispStatsReady signals
should be handled there too.

Rather than relying on the user of the SoftwareIsp instance, let
SoftwareIsp inherits Object.  SoftwareIsp serves as a signal proxy, the
signals above are emitted from signal handlers.  This means that if
SoftwareIsp inherits Object then the slots are invoked in SoftwareIsp
thread.  Which is the camera manager thread because the SoftwareIsp
instance is created there.
