libcamera/base: Introduce new base library

The libcamera-base.so will feature internal support functionality
that is utilised by libcamera, and can be shared in other places.

This new library provides a layer beneath libcamera which provides
common abstractions to internal objects.

A pkg-config file is generated and named libcamera-base.pc which allows
components such as external IPA modules to link directly to this library
if they need. Normal applications will reference this library through
the Requires: statement provided by the libcamera.pc package
configuration, and linkage will be handled automatically through the
pkg-config mechanisms.

No code is moved to this library yet, this patch only introduces the
framework, construction and linkage.
