The CameraManager class uses the event dispatcher of the current thread.
This makes the CameraManager::eventDispatcher() and
CameraManager::setEventDispatcher() methods inconsistent, as they access
different event dispatcher instances depending on the calling thread.
Fix this by inheriting from the Object class, which binds the
CameraManager to a thread, and use the event dispatcher of the bound
thread.

Add a helper invokeMethod() to the Object class that allows asynchrnous
invocation of any method of an Object instance. Asynchronous invocation
occurs when control returns to the event dispatcher of the target
object's thread, in the context of that thread.
To support this, generalise the SignalMessage implementation to support
automatic deletion of the associated BoundMethod, and rename the message
to InvokeMessage to reflect the more generic purpose.

Add and use an operation to assign to Buffer representing external

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
SlotBase::match() method is invalid as it is in a non-namespace scope.
Luckily this can easily be fixed by removing the specialisation for the
fully specialised implementation. As an additional safety measure, using
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.

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

information.

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:

The CameraConfiguration class implements a simple storage of
StreamConfiguration with internal validation limited to verifying that
the stream configurations are not empty. Extend this mechanism by
implementing a smart validate() method backed by pipeline handlers.
This new mechanism changes the semantic of the camera configuration. The
Camera::generateConfiguration() operation still generates a default
configuration based on roles, but now also supports generating empty
configurations to be filled by applications. Applications can inspect
the configuration, optionally modify it, and validate it. The validation
implements "try" semantics and adjusts invalid configurations instead of
rejecting them completely. Applications then decide whether to accept
the modified configuration, or try again with a different set of
parameters. Once the configuration is valid, it is passed to
Camera::configure(), and pipeline handlers are guaranteed that the
configuration they receive is valid.
A reference to the Camera may need to be stored in the
CameraConfiguration derived classes in order to access it from their
validate() implementation. This must be stored as a std::shared_ptr<> as
the CameraConfiguration instances belong to applications. In order to
make this possible, make the Camera class inherit from
std::shared_from_this<>.

configure() and generateConfiguration() respectively in order to clarify
the API. Both methods deal with CameraConfiguration objects, and are
thus not limited to streams, even if a CameraConfiguration currently
contains streams only.
While at it, remove the qcam MainWindow::configureStreams() method that
is declared but never defined or used.
