Add Python bindings

Add libcamera Python bindings. pybind11 is used to generate the C++ <->
Python layer.

We use pybind11 'smart_holder' version to avoid issues with private
destructors and shared_ptr. There is also an alternative solution here:

https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/2067

Only a subset of libcamera classes are exposed. Implementing and testing
the wrapper classes is challenging, and as such only classes that I have
needed have been added so far.
