py: libcamera: Always use install path from meson python module

Browse Source 
libcamera uses the meson python module to handle native compilation of
Python extension modules, and uses the shared_module() function when
cross-compiling due to an issue in the python module. The difference
between native and cross compilation also extends to the installation
path: native compilation lets the python module handle the paths, while
cross compilation constructs a path manually using a heuristic based on
the Python version and hardcoded components.

This manually-constructed installation path is problematic for cross
compilation for the same reason it caused issue when used for native
compilation: it is not guaranteed to be right, and it can't be
overridden by users.

Switch to obtaining the installation path from the meson python module
for cross-compilation as well. This also prepares for usage of
py.extension_module() once the file suffix issue will be fixed in meson.

On Debian 13, this change replaces the incorrect path
/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libcamera with the still (but
differently) incorrect /usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/libcamera.
Future fixes in meson to address this issue will make the path correct
by default.

When the path calculated by the python module is not correct, it can now
be overridden by the user through the meson python.platlibdir
configuration variable.
