The new Thread class wraps std::thread in order to integrate it with the
Object, Signal and EventDispatcher classes. By default new threads run
an internal event loop, and their run() method can be overloaded to
provide a custom thread loop.

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.

Generate a version string, and provide a global string object which
allows applications to interrogate the current libcamera version
information.
The version header is automatically updated by meson on each build.
The string roughly follows the semver [0] conventions of
major.minor.patch-label as a value.
[0] https://semver.org/
A script (utils/gen-version.sh) is provided which is modelled upon the
processing from autoconf's git-version-gen. The gen-version.sh script
will look for tags in the form vX.Y as starting points for the version
string. While the repository does not have any matching tags, v0.0 will
be assumed, resulting in versions with both major and minor being set to
'0', and the patch count resulting from the number of patches in the
history to that point.
Finally, a uniquely identifying shortened hash is provided from git:
v0.0.509+0ec0edf7

libcamera depends on libudev for device enumeration. It is however
useful to allow building documentation without requiring the dependency
to be installed. Make the libudev dependency optional and compile the
udev-based device enumerator out when libudev is not present.
Note that while libcamera will compile without libudev, it will not be
able to enumerate devices. A sysfs-based device enumerator is planned as
a fallback but not implemented yet.

The Camera class is explicitly reference-counted to manage the lifetime
of camera objects. Replace this open-coded implementation with usage of
the std::shared_ptr<> class.
This API change prevents pipeline handlers from subclassing the Camera
class. This isn't deemed to be an issue. Mark the class final to make
this explicit.

Cameras are listed through a double indirection, first iterating over
all available pipeline handlers, and then listing the cameras they each
support. To simplify the API make the pipeline handlers register the
cameras with the camera manager directly, which lets the camera manager
easily expose the list of all available cameras.
The PipelineHandler API gets simplified as the handlers don't need to
expose the list of cameras they have created.

Pipeline handler factories are register in a map indexed by their name,
and the list of names is used to expose the factories and look them up.
This is unnecessary cumbersome, we can instead store factories in a
vector and expose it directly. The pipeline factory users will still
have access to the factory names through the factory name() function.
The PipelineHandlerFactory::create() method becomes so simple that it
can be inlined in its single caller, removing the unneeded usage of the
DeviceEnumerator in the factory.
