If the frame buffer format is identical to the display format, the
viewfinder still invokes the converter to perform what is essentially a
slow memcpy(). Make it possible to skip that operation by creating a
QImage referencing the buffer memory instead. A reference to the frame
buffer is kept internally, and released when the next buffer is queued,
pushing the current one out.

The viewfinder is currently expected to render frames to the screen
synchronously in the display() function, or at least to copy data so
that the buffer can be queued in a new request when the function
returns. This prevents optimisations when the capture format is
identical to the display format.
Make the viewfinder take ownership of the buffer, and notify of its
release through a signal. The release is currently still synchronous,
this will be addressed in a subsequent patch.
Rename the ViewFinder::display() function to render() to better describe
its purpose, as it's meant to start the rendering and not display the
frame synchronously.

The MainWindow connects a handler to the Camera requestCompleted signal
when the camera is opened, but never disconnects it.
Move the connection to the startCapture() function, and ensure that it
is disconnected again when the stream is stopped.
This ensures that we can successfully tear down the stream, and restart
with a new camera.
Introducing the error_disconnect cleanup path in start_capture
identified that we left the camera in the start state, thus we also add
a call to camera->stop() when disconnecting the signal connection.

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.

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.

Refactor the CameraConfiguration structure to not rely on Stream
instances. This is a step towards making the camera configuration object
more powerful with configuration validation using "try" semantics.
The CameraConfiguration now exposes a simple vector-like API to access
the contained stream configurations. Both operator[]() and at() are
provided to access elements. The isEmpty() method is renamed to empty()
and the methods reordered to match the std::vector class.
As applications need access to the Stream instances associated with the
configuration entries in order to associate buffers with streams when
creating requests, expose the stream selected by the pipeline handler
through a new StreamConfiguration::stream().
