The ControlId class stores a pointer to the control name. This works
fine for statically-defined controls, but requires code that allocates
controls dynamically (for instance based on control discovery on a V4L2
device) to keep a list of control names in separate storage. To ease
usage of dynamically allocated controls, store a copy of the control
name string in the ControlId class.

Bring back auto-generation of control ids. In this version, both the
header and the source files are generated from a single YAML file that
stores all control definitions. This allows centralising controls in a
single file, while the previous version required keeping both
declarations (in a header) and documentation (in a the source) in sync
manually.
Using YAML as a format to store control definitions is a trade-off
between ease of use (there are many YAML parsers available) and
simplicity (XML was considered, but would have lead to more complex
processing). A new build time dependency is added on python3-yaml, which
should be available as a package in all distributions and build
environments.
The YAML format is likely to change over time as we improve
documentation of controls, the first version simply copies the
information currently available. Future improvements should also include
a YAML schema to validate the YAML source file.

Rework the control-related classes to improve the API towards
applications. The goal is to enable writing code similar to
Request *req = ...;
ControlList &controls = req->controls();
controls->set(controls::AwbEnable, false);
controls->set(controls::ManualExposure, 1000);
...
int32_t exposure = controls->get(controls::ManualExposure);
with the get and set operations ensuring type safety for the control
values. This is achieved by creating the following classes:
- Control defines controls and is the main way to reference a control.
It is a template class to allow methods using it to refer to the
control type.
- ControlId is the base class of Control. It stores the control ID, name
and type, and can be used in contexts where a control needs to be
referenced regardless of its type (for instance in lists of controls).
This class replaces ControlIdentifier.
- ControlValue is kept as-is.
The ControlList class now exposes two template get() and set() methods
that replace the operator[]. They ensure type safety by infering the
value type from the Control reference that they receive.
The main way to refer to a control is now through the Control class, and
optionally through its base ControlId class. The ControlId enumeration
is removed, replaced by a list of global Control instances. Numerical
control IDs are turned into macros, and are still exposed as they are
required to communicate with IPAs (especially to deserialise control
lists). They should however not be used by applications.
Auto-generation of header and source files is removed for now to keep
the change simple. It will be added back in the future in a more
elaborate form.

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

application facing API to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/libcamera/ when

versions of libcamera will be released, they could then be installed

The CameraManager class is not supposed to be instantiated multiple
times, which led to a singleton implementation. This requires a global
instance of the CameraManager, which is destroyed when the global
destructors are executed.
Relying on global instances causes issues with cleanup, as the order in
which the global destructors are run can't be controlled. In particular,
the Android camera HAL implementation ends up destroying the
CameraHalManager after the CameraManager, which leads to use-after-free
problems.
To solve this, remove the CameraManager::instance() method and make the
CameraManager class instantiable directly. Multiple instances are still
not allowed, and this is enforced by storing the instance pointer
internally to be checked when an instance is created.

The Buffer class is a large beast the stores information about the
buffer memory, dynamic metadata related to the frame stored in the
buffer, and buffer reference data (in the index). In order to implement
buffer import we will need to extend this with dmabuf file descriptors,
making usage of the class even more complex.
Refactor the Buffer class by splitting the buffer memory information to
a BufferMemory class, and repurposing the Buffer class to reference a
buffer and to store dynamic metadata. The BufferMemory class becomes a
long term storage, valid and stable from the time buffer memory is
allocated to the time it is freed. The Buffer class, on the other hand,
becomes transient, is created on demand when an application requires a
buffer, is given to a request, and is deleted when the request
completes.
Buffer and BufferMemory don't need to be copied, so their copy
constructor and assignment operators are deleted.

gcc complains that the recently template specialisation of the

Luckily this can easily be fixed by removing the specialisation for the

std::enable_if<!std::is_same<Object, T>> on the template implementation
ensures that it will never be called for an Object instance.

The SlotBase implementation stores the receiver object pointer as a void
pointer internally. The pointer is then cast back to an Object pointer
when the receiver object class derives from Object. When the receiver is
an object that inherits from both the Object class and other classes,
the Object data members may not be stored at the beginning of the object
memory. The cast back to an Object pointer is thus incorrect.
Fix this by casting the receiver object pointer to an Object pointer
where the type of the receiver object is known, and pass it along with
the receiver void pointer to the SlotBase class. The SlotBase class
stores both pointers internally, and doesn't need the isObject_ field
anymore as the same information is obtained from checking if the Object
pointer is null.
To avoid confusing the two pointers, use the same naming scheme through
the whole implementation: "obj" points to a receiver object as an
unknown type, and "object" to the receiver object cast to an Object. The
latter is null when the receiver object doesn't inherit from the Object
class.
To further clarify the code, remove direct access to the SlotBase "obj"
and "object" fields as much as possible. They are replaced by two new
methods :
- SlotBase::disconnect() to disconnect a signal from the slot's receiver
object
- SlotBase::match() to test if an object pointer matches the slot
The match() method is a template method with a specialisation for the
Object type, to compare either the obj or the object pointer depending
on the type of the parameter. This is required as the Object destructor
calls the SignalBase::disconnect() method for signal connected to the
object, and passes a pointer to Object to that method, while the actual
object may have a different address due to the issue explained above.
The pointer must thus be compared with the stored Object pointer in that
case, not to the pointer to the receiver object.
