Add a method isRunning() to V4L2Camera so that V4L2CameraProxy can use
it for checks.

Previously, since we acquired the libcamera camera upon open(), it was
impossible to support multiple open, as any subsequent opens would
return error because the camera would already be acquired.
To fix this, we first initialize the camera in the first call to
V4L2CameraProxy::open(), just to heat up the stream format cache. We
then add ownership by a V4L2CameraFile of a V4L2Camera via the
V4L2CameraProxy. All vidioc ioctls prior to reqbufs > 0 (except for
s_fmt) are able to access the camera without ownership. A call to
reqbufs > 0 (and s_fmt) will take ownership, and the ownership will be
released at reqbufs = 0. While ownership is assigned, the eventfd that
should be signaled (and cleared) by V4L2Camera and V4L2CameraProxy is
set to the V4L2CameraFile that has ownership, and is cleared when the
ownership is released. In case close() is called without a
reqbufs = 0 first, the ownership is also released on close().
We also use the V4L2CameraFile to contain all the information specific
to an open instance of the file. This removes the need to keep track of
such information within V4L2CameraProxy via multiple maps from int fd to
info.
Since V4L2 does not expect reqbufs 0 to ever return error, make
V4L2CameraProxy::freeBuffers() return void.

To support polling, we need to be able to signal when data is
available to be read (POLLIN), as well as events (POLLPRI). Add the
necessary calls to eventfd to allow signaling POLLIN. We signal POLLIN
by writing writing to the eventfd, and clear it by reading from the
eventfd, upon VIDIOC_DQBUF.
Note that eventfd does not support signaling POLLPRI, so we don't yet
support V4L2 events.

The V4L2 compatibility layer is licensed under the GPL. It is compiled
as a binary separate from libcamera.so, and is loaded into the address
space of processes through LD_PRELOAD to intercept calls to the C
library.
It is our understanding and intent that the GPL license doesn't
propagate to the binaries whose calls are intercepted, considering those
binaries are not derivative work of the V4L2 compatibility layer and are
not designed to be linked to the V4L2 compatibility layer. There is
however a possibly grey area if binaries are packaged with a shell
script wrapper that loads the V4L2 compatibility layer. This could lead
to license-related issues if such packaging is performed by Linux
distributions or system integrators.
To clarify the intent and lift the doubts, relicense the V4L2
compatibility layer under the LGPL. The V4L2 compatibility layer code
itself still benefits from the license protection, while its usage with
third-party binaries is clearly allowed as intended.

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

const reference
PixelFormat was previously an alias for unsigned int but is now a
class. Make all functions taking PixelFormat do so as a const reference.

Now that libcamera creates threads internally and doesn't rely on an
application-provided event loop, remove the thread from the V4L2
compatibility layer. The split between the V4L2CameraProxy and
V4L2Camera classes is still kept to separate the V4L2 adaptation from
camera operation. This may be further refactored later.

Switch to the FrameBuffer interface where all buffers are treated as
external buffers and are allocated outside the camera. Applications
allocating buffers using libcamera are switched to use the
FrameBufferAllocator helper.
Follow-up changes to this one will finalize the transition to the new
FrameBuffer interface by removing code that is left unused after this
change.

Move the metadata retrieved when dequeuing a V4L2 buffer into a
FrameMetadata object. This is done as a step to migrate to the
FrameBuffer interface as the functions added to Buffer around
FrameMetadata match the ones in FrameBuffer.

With the upcoming FrameBuffer API a new library wide FrameMetadata
object will be added which will replace the specific implementation in
the V4L2 compatibility layer.
Avoid name collisions while the new FrameBuffer API is added by renaming
the V4L2 compatibility layer specific implementation until it can be
replaced with the library wide implementation.

Add libcamera V4L2 compatibility layer.
This initial implementation supports the minimal set of V4L2 operations,
which allows getting, setting, and enumerating formats, and streaming
frames from a video device. Some data about the wrapped V4L2 video
device are hardcoded.
Add a build option named 'v4l2' and adjust the build system to
selectively compile the V4L2 compatibility layer.
For now we match the V4L2 device node to a libcamera camera based on a
devnum that a pipeline handler may optionally map to a libcamera
camera.
