libcamera: Add support for V4L2 requests

The V4L2 requests API provides support to atomically tie controls to a
set of buffers. This is especially common for m2m devices. Such a
request is represented by an fd that is allocated via
MEDIA_IOC_REQUEST_ALLOC and then passed to the various V4L2 functions.

Implement a V4L2Request class to wrap such an fd and add the
corresponding utility functions.
