Currently, doxygen is run by ninja in the top-level build directory,
therefore the "Documentation" folder is always created there. However,
when libcamera is built as a subproject, it should not touch the
top-level build directory because it can cause conflicts and because
the documentation won't be created where meson thinks it will be, so
the "doxygen" target will always be dirty and installation will fail.

When the IPU3 pipeline handler is disabled, the corresponding IPA module
isn't compiled, which results in the meson ipu3_ipa_sources variable to
be undefined. The variable is used unconditionally as part of the
Doxygen inputs, so Meson complains at configuration time that it is
undefined.
Fix it by including the IPU3 IPA documentation in the Doxygen build only
when the IPU3 pipeline handler is enabled.

The libcamera-base.so will feature internal support functionality
that is utilised by libcamera, and can be shared in other places.
This new library provides a layer beneath libcamera which provides
common abstractions to internal objects.
A pkg-config file is generated and named libcamera-base.pc which allows
components such as external IPA modules to link directly to this library
if they need. Normal applications will reference this library through
the Requires: statement provided by the libcamera.pc package
configuration, and linkage will be handled automatically through the
pkg-config mechanisms.
No code is moved to this library yet, this patch only introduces the
framework, construction and linkage.

Moving the core.mojom documentation to its corresponding .cpp file
(core_ipa_interface.cpp). This will allow Doxygen to generate the
documentation for IPABuffer, IPASettings and IPAStream structures.
Since the .mojom files are placed in include/ directory, the .cpp file
will live in $sourcedir/src/libcamera/ipa/ - which can also contain
documentation for other mojom generated IPA interfaces in subsequent
commit.
Also hide the constructors in generated IPA interface from doxygen,
via #ifndef __DOXYGEN__. These constructors provide no major value in
documenting them, instead will spew out doxygen warnings during the
build.

In an attempt to clarify the license terms of all files in the libcamera
project, the build system files deserve particular attention. While they
describe how the binaries are created, they are not themselves
transformed into any part of binary distributions of the software, and
thus don't influence the copyright on the binary packages. They are
however subject to copyright, and thus influence the distribution terms
of the source packages.
Most of the meson.build files would not meet the threshold of
originality criteria required for copyright protection. Some of the more
complex meson.build files may be eligible for copyright protection. To
avoid any ambiguity and uncertainty, state our intent to not assert
copyrights on the build system files by putting them in the public
domain with the CC0-1.0 license.

Switch IPA communication to the plain C API. As the IPAInterface class
is easier to use for pipeline handlers than a plain C API, retain it and
add an IPAContextWrapper that translate between the C++ and the C APIs.
On the IPA module side usage of IPAInterface may be desired for IPAs
implemented in C++ that want to link to libcamera. For those IPAs, a new
IPAInterfaceWrapper helper class is introduced to wrap the IPAInterface
implemented internally by the IPA module into an ipa_context,
ipa_context_ops and ipa_callback_ops.

The ipa includes are located in include/libcamera/ipa/. This gives an
incorrect impression that they are a sub-part of the rest of the
libcamera API, while they are the API towards the IPA the same way that
include/libcamera/ contains the API towards applications. To clarify
this, move them to include/ipa/.
The IPA headers are however still part of libcamera, so installing them
to ${prefix}/include/ipa/ would make little sense. To fix this, move the
application facing API to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/libcamera/ when
installed, and the IPA to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/ipa/. When major
versions of libcamera will be released, they could then be installed
side by side in ${prefix}/include/libcamera-${version}/.

Commit b817bcec6b53 ("libcamera: Auto generate version information")
generates version information in order to automatically include it
various locations (Sphinx and Doxygen documentation, libcamera::version
variable available at runtime, and version.h available at compile time).
Unfortunately this causes lots of unnecessary rebuilds when modifying
the git tree state, which hinders development.
The problem is caused by the generated version.h being listed as a
dependency for the whole libcamera. This is required as meson (to the
best of my knowledge) doesn't provide a way to explicitly specify the
dependency of a single object file (camera_manager.o in this case, as
camera_manager.cpp is the only consumer of the generated version string)
on the custom target used to generate version.h. The dependency can't be
automatically detected at build time, like dependencies on normal
headers that are generated by parsing the source, because the version.h
header may not exist yet. The build could then fail in a racy way.
This change attempts at solving the issue by generating a version.cpp
instead of a version.h to set the git-based version. This minimises the
number of files that need to be rebuild when then git tree state
changes, while retaining the main purpose of the original automatic
version generation, the ability to access the git-based version string
at runtime. We however lose the ability to access git-based version
information at build time in an application building against libcamera,
but there is no expected use case for this.
The version string is moved from the libcamera namespace to the
CameraManager class in order to avoid including version.h inside
libcamera (in version.cpp and in camera_manager.cpp), which would create
dependencies causing more rebuild steps, as described above.
On the other hand, major, minor and patch level version numbers are
useful at build time. This commit changes the generation of version.h in
order to add three macros named LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MAJOR,
LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCAMERA_VERSION_PATCH for this purpose.
version.h is not included by any other libcamera header or source file,
and thus doesn't force a rebuild of the library.
The Sphinx and Doxygen documentation keep their git-based version
information, which is set during the configuration of the build and then
doesn't track git commits. We may want to investigate how to improve
this, but given that git-based version for the documentation has very
few use cases outside of tagging nightly builds, this isn't considered
an issue at the moment.
The documentation install directory now uses the base version string, in
order to avoid increasing the number of documentation directories
needlessly. This shouldn't cause any issue as the API should not change
without a change to the version number.
The version number generation and handling code now also standardises
the version variables to not start with a 'v' prefix in meson, in order
to simplify their handling. The prefix is added when generating the
relevant files.
Note that we go back to specifying the fallback version in the main
meson.build, in the call to the project() function. For the time being I
believe this should be a good compromise to avoid unnecessary
recompilation, and moving the fallback version to a different file for
tarball releases can be built on top of this.

Generate a version string, and provide a global string object which
allows applications to interrogate the current libcamera version
information.
The version header is automatically updated by meson on each build.
The string roughly follows the semver [0] conventions of
major.minor.patch-label as a value.
[0] https://semver.org/
A script (utils/gen-version.sh) is provided which is modelled upon the
processing from autoconf's git-version-gen. The gen-version.sh script
will look for tags in the form vX.Y as starting points for the version
string. While the repository does not have any matching tags, v0.0 will
be assumed, resulting in versions with both major and minor being set to
'0', and the patch count resulting from the number of patches in the
history to that point.
Finally, a uniquely identifying shortened hash is provided from git:
v0.0.509+0ec0edf7
