We use static local variables to indicate errors in methods that return
a const reference. The local variables can thus be const, make them so.

With the FrameBuffer rework completed there is no reason to keep the
camera prepared state around as buffer allocations are now decoupled
from the camera state. Remove the camera state simplifying the API.

The FrameBuffer interface is based on the idea that all buffers are
allocated externally to libcamera and are only used by it. This is meant
to create a simpler API centered around usage of buffers, regardless of
where they come from.
Linux however lacks a centralized allocator at the moment, and not all
users of libcamera are expected to use another device that could provide
suitable buffers for the camera. This patch thus adds a helper class to
allocate buffers internally in libcamera, in a way that matches the
needs of the FrameBuffer-based API.
