libcamera: Add FileDescriptor to help pass numerical fds around
Add a helper to make it easier to pass file descriptors around. The helper class duplicates the fd which decouples it from the original fd which could be closed by its owner while the new FileDescriptor remains valid.

+ * \class FileDescriptor
+ * \brief RAII-style wrapper for file descriptors
+ *
+ * The FileDescriptor class provides RAII-style lifetime management of file
+ * descriptors with an efficient mechanism for ownership sharing. At its core,
+ * an internal Descriptor object wraps a file descriptor (expressed as a signed
+ * integer) with an RAII-style interface. The Descriptor is then implicitly
+ * shared with all FileDescriptor instances constructed as copies.
+ *
+ * When constructed from a numerical file descriptor, the FileDescriptor
+ * instance duplicates the file descriptor and wraps the duplicate as a
+ * Descriptor. The copy constructor and assignment operator create copies that
+ * share the Descriptor, while the move versions of those methods additionally
+ * make the other FileDescriptor invalid. When the last FileDescriptor that
+ * references a Descriptor is destroyed, the file descriptor is closed.
+ *
+ * The numerical file descriptor is available through the fd() method. As
+ * constructing a FileDescriptor from a numerical file descriptor duplicates
+ * the file descriptor, the value returned by fd() will be different than the
+ * value passed to the constructor. All FileDescriptor instances created as
+ * copies of a FileDescriptor will report the same fd() value. Callers can
+ * perform operations on the fd(), but shall never close it manually.
