libcamera: ipa_module: allow instantiation of IPAInterface

Add functions for loading the IPAInterface factory function from an IPA
module shared object, and for creating an instance of an IPAInterface.
These functions will be used by IPAManager, from which a PipelineHandler
will request an IPAInterface.

Also update meson to add the "-ldl" linker argument, to allow loading of
the factory function from a shared object.
