Two independent instances of the ControlSerializer class are in use at
the IPC boundaries, one in the Proxy class that serializes data from the
pipeline handler to the IPA, and one in the ProxyWorker which serializes
data in the opposite direction.
Each instance operates autonomously, without any centralized point of
control, and each one assigns a numerical handle to each ControlInfoMap
it serializes. This creates a risk of potential collision on the handle
values, as both instances will use the same numerical space and
are not aware of what handles has been already used by the instance "on
the other side".
To fix that, partition the handles numerical space by initializing the
control serializer with a seed according to the role of the component
that creates the serializer and increment the handle number by 2, to
avoid any collision risk.
While this is temporary and rather hacky solution, it solves an issue
with isolated IPA modules without too much complexity added.

Regarding (de)serialization in isolated IPA calls, we have four layers:
- struct
- byte vector + fd vector
- IPCMessage
- IPC payload
The proxy handles the upper three layers (with help from the
IPADataSerializer), and passes an IPCMessage to the IPC mechanism
(implemented as an IPCPipe), which sends an IPC payload to its worker
counterpart.
When a FileDescriptor is involved, previously it was only a
FileDescriptor in the first layer; in the lower three it was an int. To
reduce the risk of potential fd leaks in the future, keep the
FileDescriptor as-is throughout the upper three layers. Only the IPC
mechanism will deal with ints, if it so wishes, when it does the actual
IPC. IPCPipeUnixSocket does deal with ints for sending fds, so the
conversion between IPCMessage and IPCUnixSocket::Payload converts
between FileDescriptor and int.
Additionally, change the data portion of the serialized form of
FileDescriptor to a 32-bit unsigned integer, for alightnment purposes
and in preparation for conversion to an index into the fd array.
Also update the deserializer of FrameBuffer::Plane accordingly.

ControlInfoMap does not have a ControlId map associated, but rather
creates one with the generateIdMap() function at creation time.
As a consequence, when in the need to de-serialize a ControlInfoMap all
the ControlId it contains are created by the deserializer instance, not
being able to discern if the controls the ControlIdMap refers to are the
global libcamera controls (and properties) or instances local to the
V4L2 device that has first initialized the controls.
As a consequence the ControlId stored in a de-serialized map will always
be newly created entities, preventing lookup by ControlId reference on a
de-serialized ControlInfoMap.
In order to make it possible to use globally available ControlId
instances whenever possible, create ControlInfoMap with a reference to
an externally allocated ControlIdMap instead of generating one
internally.
As a consequence the class constructors take and additional argument,
which might be not pleasant to type in, but enforces the concepts that
ControlInfoMap should be created with controls part of the same id map.
As the ControlIdMap the ControlInfoMap refers to needs to be allocated
externally:
- Use the globally available controls::controls (or
properties::properties) id map when referring to libcamera controls
- The V4L2 device that creates ControlInfoMap by parsing the device's
controls has to allocate a ControlIdMap
- The ControlSerializer that de-serializes a ControlInfoMap has to
create and store the ControlIdMap the de-serialized info map refers to

Move the functionality for the following components to the new
base support library:
- BoundMethod
- EventDispatcher
- EventDispatcherPoll
- Log
- Message
- Object
- Signal
- Semaphore
- Thread
- Timer
While it would be preferable to see these split to move one component
per commit, these components are all interdependent upon each other,
which leaves us with one big change performing the move for all of them.
