ipa: libipa: algorithm: Add an algorithm registration mechanism

In order to allow dynamic instantiation of algorithms based on tuning
data files, add a mechanism to register algorithms with the IPA module.
The implementation relies on an AlgorithmFactory class and a
registration macro, similar to the pipeline handler registration
mechanism. The main difference is that the algorithm registration and
instantiation are implemented in the Module class instead of the
AlgorithmFactory class, making the factory an internal implementation
detail.
