Following a conversation on the mailing list about the use of

an initial set of rules that are expected be extended and detailed in

Utilise the clang-format header sort to provide a regex based pattern
match for our header inclusion coding style.
The rules are updated to match as closely as possible the existing
practices and the documentation is updated accordingly.

Usage of 'method' to refer to member functions comes from Java. The C++
standard uses the term 'function' only. Replace 'method' with 'function'
or 'member function' through the whole code base and documentation.
While at it, fix two typos (s/backeng/backend/).
The BoundMethod and Object::invokeMethod() are left as-is here, and will
be addressed separately.

Formatting code using astyle doesn't lead to results as good as with
clang-format, and doesn't receive much test coverage as most developers
use clang-format. The code is thus bitrotting. Drop it.

While libcamera prefers usage of the C standard library headers (xxx.h)
over the C++ version (cxxx), we make an exception for cmath as the
overloaded versions of the math functions are convenient. Document this,
and adjust checkstyle.py accordingly.

Due to popular request, move from C++14 to C++17. This will allow
dropping some custom constructs (such as a custom utils::clamp),
benefiting from new language features, and dropping gcc 5 and 6 from the
compilation tests.

C++14 is a minor release that doesn't introduce major new concepts or
paradigms compared to C++11, but brings two useful changes for us:
- std::make_unique allows dropping our custom implementation in utils.
- Functions returning constexpr are not assumed to be const anymore,
which is needed to create a standard-conformant span implementation.
All the g++ and clang++ versions we support and test (g++-5 onwards and
clang++6 onwards) support C++14. However, due to a defect in the
original C++14 specification, solved in N4387 ([1]), compilation would
fail on g++-5 due to the use of std::map::emplace() with a non-copyable
value type. It turns out we can easily fix it by switching to the
explicit piecewise emplace() overload.
There is thus really nothing holding back the switch. Let's do it, and
update the coding style accordingly.

The C++ standard defines a set of C++ standard library headers, and for
some of them, defines C compatibility headers. The former have a name of
the form <cxxx> while the later are named <xxx.h>. The C++ headers
declare names in the std namespace, and may declare the same names in
the global namespace. The C compatibility headers declare names in the
global namespace, and may declare the same names in the std namespace.
We want to standardise on one set of headers through libcamera, and
don't want to rely on optional behaviour. We can thus either use the C++
headers with an explicit std:: namespace qualifier through the code, or
the C headers without the qualifier.
Both set of headers are defined by the C++ standard, and are thus valid
choices. After weighing pros and cons, we have decided to use the C
compatibility headers, as nobody wanted to write std::uint32_t. Document
this decision.

clang-format produces better results than astyle as it can better match
the libcamera coding style. Default to clang-format over astyle, fall
back to astyle if clang-format isn't found, and add a --formatter
command line option to select a formatter manually.
