This change allows controls passed into PipelineHandler::start to be
forwarded onto IPAInterface::start(). We also add a return channel if the
pipeline handler must action any of these controls, e.g. setting the
analogue gain or shutter speed in the sensor device.
The IPA interface wrapper isn't addressed as it will soon be replaced by
a new mechanism to handle IPC.

To make error handling easier in callers, allow the stop() function to
be called when the proxy is already stopped, or not started yet.

Add two new parameters, ipaConfig and result, to the
IPAInterface::configure() function to allow pipeline handlers to pass
custom data to their IPA, and receive data back. Wire this through the
code base. The C API interface will be addressed separately, likely
through automation of the C <-> C++ translation.

The IPA headers are installed into $prefix/include/libcamera/ipa/, but
are located in the source tree in include/ipa/. This requires files
within libcamera to include them with
#include <ipa/foo.h>
while a third party IPA would need to use
#include <libcamera/ipa/foo.h>
Not only is this inconsistent, it can create issues later if IPA headers
need to include each other, as the first form of include directive
wouldn't be valid once the headers are installed.
Fix the problem by moving the IPA headers to include/libcamera/ipa/.

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/.

Add support for camera sensor information in the libcamera IPA protocol.
Define a new 'struct ipa_sensor_info' structure in the IPA context and
use it to perform translation between the C and the C++ API.
Update the IPAInterface::configure() operation to accept a new
CameraSensorInfo parameter and port all users of that function to
the new interface.

Add a new IPASettings class to pass IPA initialization settings through
the IPAInterface::init() method. The settings currently only contain the
name of a configuration file, and are expected to be extended later.

IPA modules may require configuration files, which may be stored in
different locations in the file system. To standardize file locations
between all IPAs and pipeline handlers, provide a helper function to
locate a configuration file by searching in the following directories:
- All directories specified in the LIBCAMERA_IPA_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable ; or
- In the source tree if libcamera is not installed ; otherwise
- In standard system locations (etc and share directories).
When stored in the source tree, configuration files shall be located in
a 'data' subdirectory of their respective IPA directory.
More locations, or extensions to the mechanism, may be implemented
later.

While closed-source IPA modules will always be sandboxed, open-source
IPA modules may be run in the main libcamera process or be sandboxed,
depending on platform configuration. These two models exhibit very
different timings, which require extensive testing with both
configurations.
When run into the main libcamera process, IPA modules are executed in
the pipeline handler thread (which is currently a global CameraManager
thread). Time-consuming operations in the IPA may thus slow down the
pipeline handler and compromise real-time behaviour. At least some
pipeline handlers will thus likely spawn a thread to isolate the IPA,
leading to code duplication in pipeline handlers.
Solve both issues by always proxying IPA modules. For open-source IPA
modules that run in the libcamera process, a new IPAProxyThread class is
added to run the IPA in a separate thread.
