pipeline_handler: Add acquireDevice() function to mirror releaseDevice()

libcamera always keeps all /dev/video# and /dev/v4l2_subdev# nodes for a
pipeline open after enumerating the camera.

This is a problem for the uvcvideo pipeline handler. Keeping /dev/video#
open stops the UVC USB device from being able to enter runtime-suspend
causing significant unnecessary power-usage.

Add a stub acquireDevice() function to the PipelineHandler class which
pipeline handlers can override.

The uvcvideo pipeline handler will use this to delay opening /dev/video#
until the device is acquired. This is a special case because the kernel
uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video# is
opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline handlers.
