With the buffer allocator in use it's possible to cache the dmabuf
memory mappings when starting the camera instead of mapping and
unmapping them each time.

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.

It is not libcamera's responsibility to handle memory mappings. Switch
from the soon to be removed Plane class which deals with memory
mappings to FrameBuffer::Plane which just describes it. This makes the
transition to the full FrameBuffer easier.
As the full FrameBuffer interface has not yet spread to all parts of
libcamera core it is hard to create efficient caching of memory mappings
in the qcam application. This will be fixed in a later patch, for now
the dmabuf is mapped and unmapped each time it is seen by the
application.

Buffer instances reference memory, which is modelled internally by a
BufferMemory instance. Store a pointer to the BufferMemory in the Buffer
class, and populate it when the buffer is queued to the camera through a
request. This is useful for applications to access the buffer memory in
the buffer or request completion handler.

The Buffer class is a large beast the stores information about the
buffer memory, dynamic metadata related to the frame stored in the
buffer, and buffer reference data (in the index). In order to implement
buffer import we will need to extend this with dmabuf file descriptors,
making usage of the class even more complex.
Refactor the Buffer class by splitting the buffer memory information to
a BufferMemory class, and repurposing the Buffer class to reference a
buffer and to store dynamic metadata. The BufferMemory class becomes a
long term storage, valid and stable from the time buffer memory is
allocated to the time it is freed. The Buffer class, on the other hand,
becomes transient, is created on demand when an application requires a
buffer, is given to a request, and is deleted when the request
completes.
Buffer and BufferMemory don't need to be copied, so their copy
constructor and assignment operators are deleted.

To be able to write multiple buffers captured in the same request (and
hence having the same sequence number) the buffer writer needs to name
each file uniquely. Add a stream name to the writer function which the
buffer writer can add to the part of the pattern it already expands to
the sequence number. As cam only supports one stream, hard code the name
to stream0.
