The GlobalConfiguration is explicitly passed around through constructors
of various objects that need access to the configuration. This ad-hoc
solution works for the specific use cases it was meant to support, but
isn't very generic. We have a top-level object in libcamera, the
CameraManager, that also needs to be accessed from various locations and
is passed to object constructors. Standardize on passing the
CameraManager everywhere, and access the global configuration through
it.

IPA proxies are created with a call to IPAManager::createIPA(), which is
a static member function. This requires a complicated dance in the
createIPA() function to retrieve the IPAManager instance through the
camera manager, itself retrieved from the pipeline handler. Simplify the
code by turning IPAManager::createIPA() into a non-static member
function, and providing a wrapper in the PipelineHandler class to keep
instantiation of IPA proxies easy in pipeline handlers.

Even though there is an abstract class to represent the interface of an IPA,
the threaded and IPC versions are still multiplexed using the same type,
which uses a boolean to actually dispatch to the right function.
Instead of doing that, split the classes into "threaded" and "isolated"
variants, and make `IPAManager` choose accordingly.

This patch adds configuration options for environment variables used in
the IPA proxy.
The configuration snippet:
configuration:
ipa:
config_paths:
- config path 1
- config path 2
- ...
module_paths:
- module path 1
- module path 2
- ...
proxy_paths:
- proxy path 1
- proxy path 2
- ...
force_isolation: BOOL
LIBCAMERA_<IPA_NAME>_TUNING_FILE remains configurable only via the
environment variable; this is supposed to be used only for testing and
debugging and it's not clear what to do about IPA names like "rpi/vc4"
and "rpi/pisp" exactly.
There are two ways to pass the configuration to the places where it is
needed: Either to pass it as an argument to the method calls that need
it, or to pass it to the class constructors and extract the needed
configuration from there. This patch uses the second method as it is
less polluting the code.

The IPAManager class implements a singleton pattern due to the need of
accessing the instance in a static member function. The function now
takes a pointer to a PipelineHandler, which we can use to access the
CameraManager, and from there, the IPAManager.
Add accessors to the internal API to expose the CameraManager from the
PipelineHandler, and the IPAManager from the CameraManager. This
requires allocating the IPAManager dynamically to avoid a loop in
includes. Use those accessors to replace the IPAManager singleton.
Update the IPA interface unit test to instantiate a CameraManager
instead of an IPAManager and ProcessManager, to reflect the new way that
the IPAManager is accessed.

Source files in libcamera start by a comment block header, which
includes the file name and a one-line description of the file contents.
While the latter is useful to get a quick overview of the file contents
at a glance, the former is mostly a source of inconvenience. The name in
the comments can easily get out of sync with the file name when files
are renamed, and copy & paste during development have often lead to
incorrect names being used to start with.
Readers of the source code are expected to know which file they're
looking it. Drop the file name from the header comment block.
The change was generated with the following script:
----------------------------------------
dirs="include/libcamera src test utils"
declare -rA patterns=(

When packaging libcamera, distributions may break IPA module signatures
if the packaging process strips binaries. This can be fixed by resigning
the modules, but the process is error-prone.
Add a command line ipa-verify utility that tests the signature on an IPA
module to help packagers. The tool takes a single argument, the path to
an IPA module shared object, and expects the signature file (.sign) to
be in the same directory.
In order to access the public key needed for signature verification, add
a static function to the IPAManager class. As the class is internal to
libcamera, this doesn't affect the public API.

libcamera: IPAProxy, IPAManager: Switch to one-proxy-per-pipeline scheme
IPAProxy is changed in two major ways:
- Every pipeline has its own proxy, to support each pipeline's IPA
interface
- IPAProxy implementations always encapsulate IPA modules, and switch
internally for isolation or threaded
The IPAProxy registration mechanism is removed, as each pipeline will
have its own proxy, so the pipeline can pass the specialized class name
of the IPAProxy to the IPAManager for construction.
IPAManager is changed accordingly to support these changes:
- createIPA is a template function that takes an IPAProxy class, and
always returns an IPAProxy
- IPAManager no longer decides on isolation, and simply creates an
IPAProxy instance while passing the isolation flag
Consequently, the old IPAProxy classes (IPAProxyThread and
IPAProxyLinux) are removed. The IPAInterfaceTest is updated to use
the new IPAManager interface, and to construct a ProcessManager as no
single global instance is created anymore.

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/.
