libcamera: buffer: Add dmabuf file descriptors

In addition to referencing buffer memory by index, add support to
referencing it using dmabuf file descriptors. This will be used to
reference buffer memory allocated outside of libcamera and import it.

The dmabuf file descriptors are stored in an array in the Buffer class,
and a new Stream::createBuffer() overload is added to construct a buffer
from dmabuf file descriptor.
