2021-02-05cam: event_loop: Execute events in the libevent loopNiklas Söderlund
Cam uses libevent to deal with threads and idle loop while still implementing its own event queue. This creates issues when the event loop is terminated as it might get stuck in the idle loop if exit() is called while the thread is busy with dispatchCalls(). Solve this by removing the custom event execution and instead injecting the calls as events to the base event loop.

2021-02-05cam: event_loop: Rename event_ to base_Niklas Söderlund
The 'event' variable name is usually used for events added to the base event loop, not the loop itself. Rename the struct event_base member to base_ as a preparation for future work adding events to the loop. There is no functional change.
