Instead of using "delete obj" in the custom deleter of the shared
object, we should have been using the "obj->deleteLater()" to explain
how the deleteLater() API should be used in practice.

This commit adds support to schedule the deletion of an Object to the
thread it is bound to (similar to [1]). An Object getting destroyed
by a different thread is considered as a violation as per the
libcamera threading model.
This will be useful for an Object where its ownership is shared via
shared pointers in different threads. If the thread which drops the
last reference of the Object is a different thread, the destructors
get called in that particular thread, not the one Object is bound to.
Hence, in order to resolve this kind of situation, the creation of
shared pointer can be accompanied by a custom deleter which in turns
use deleteLater() to ensure the Object is destroyed in its own thread.

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

The slots list is touched from most of the Signal template functions. In
order to prepare for thread-safety, move handling of the list to a small
number of non-template functions in the SignalBase class.
This incidently fixes a bug in signal disconnection handling where the
signal wasn't removed from the object's signals list, as pointed out by
the signals unit test.

Propagate the return value of the bound method all the way to the caller
of activate(). The value is stored in the arguments pack for indirect
invocation.
As C++ doesn't allow instantiating a variable of type void, we need to
specialize the template class BoundMethodPack for methods returning
void. This in turn requires template specialization for the
BoundMethodArgs class in order to store the return value in the pack,
and for the BoundMemberMethod class to extract the return value from the
pack.

Object instances receive messages dispatched from the event loop of the
thread they belong to. Deleting an object from a different thread is
thus dangerous, unless the caller ensures that no message delivery is in
progress. Document this in the Object class documentation.

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.

When a signal is connected to a member function slot, the slot is not
disconnected when the slot object is deleted. This can lead to calling a
member function of a deleted object if the signal isn't disconnected
manually by the slot object's destructor.
Make signal handling easier by implementing a base Object class that
tracks all connected signals and disconnects from them automatically
when the object is deleted, using template specialization resolution in
the Signal class.
As inheriting from the Object class may to a too harsh requirement for
Signal usage in applications, keep the existing behaviour working if the
slot doesn't inherit from the Object class. We may reconsider this later
and require all slot objects to inherit from the Object class.
