Using a custom vertex map the dw100 dewarper is capable of doing
complex and useful transformations on the image data. This class
implements a pipeline featuring:
- Arbitrary ScalerCrop
- Full transform support (Flip, 90deg rotations)
- Arbitrary move, scale, rotate

ScalerCrop and Transform is implemented to provide a interface that is

`std::{begin,end}()` support C-style arrays, thus there is no need for
a second overload. The only reason it is currently needed is that the
trailing return type of the first overload uses `iterable.begin()`, which
leads to a substitution failure, so that overload is not considered.

So remove the array overload, and let CTAD deduce the `Base` template
parameter of `enumerate_adapter`, which will make things work for
arrays as well.

f84522d7cd libcamera: controls: Expose string controls as std::string_view
When retrieving the value from a `ControlValue` usually one of two
things happen: a small, trivially copyable object is returned by
value; or a view into the internal buffer is provided. This is true
for everything except strings, which are returned in `std::string`,
incurring the overhead of string construction.

To guarantee no potentially "expensive" copies, use `std::string_view`
pointing to the internal buffer to return the value. This is similar
to how other array-like types are returned with a `Span<>`.

This is an API break, but its scope is limited to just `properties::Model`.

dcbde32f5e ipa: Look up IPA configurables in configuration file
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.

94236f64ff libcamera: camera_manager: Construct GlobalConfiguration instance
Global configuration is accessed via a GlobalConfiguration instance.
The instance is conceptually a singleton, but singletons are not welcome
in libcamera so we must store the (preferably single) instance
somewhere.

This patch creates a GlobalConfiguration instance in CameraManager and
defines the corresponding access method.  CameraManager is typically
instantiated only once or a few times, it is accessible in many places
in libcamera and the configuration can be retrieved from it and passed
to other places if needed (it's read-only once created).  Using
CameraManager for the purpose is still suboptimal and we use it only due
to lack of better options.  An alternative could be Logger, which is
still a singleton and it's accessible from everywhere.  But with Logger,
we have a chicken and egg problem -- GlobalConfiguration should log
contingent problems with the configuration when it's loaded but if it is
created in the logger then there are mutual infinite recursive calls.
One possible way to deal with this is to look at the environment
variables only during logging initialisation and apply the logging
configuration when a CameraManager is constructed.  Considering there
are intentions to remove the Logger singleton, let's omit logging
configuration for now.

If there are multiple CameraManager instances, there are also multiple
GlobalConfiguration instances, each CameraManager instance is meant to
be fully independent, including configuration.  They may or may not
contain the same data, depending on whether the global configuration
file in the file system was changed in the meantime.

The configuration is stored in the private CameraManager.  It's
accessible within libcamera (via CameraManager) but it's not meant to be
accessed by applications.

978dc07222 config: Introduce global runtime configuration
Currently, libcamera can be configured in runtime using several
environment variables.  With introducing more and more variables, this
mechanism reaches its limits.  It would be simpler and more flexible if
it was possible to configure libcamera in a single file.

For example, there was a request to define pipeline precedence in
runtime.  We want to compile in multiple pipelines, in order to have
them accessible within single packages in distributions.  And then being
able to select among the pipelines manually as needed based on the
particular hardware or operating system environment.  Having the
configuration file then allows easy switching between hardware, GPU or
CPU IPAs.  The configuration file can also be used to enable or disable
experimental features and avoid the need to track local patches changing
configuration options hard-wired in the code when working on new
features.

This patch introduces basic support for configuration files.
GlobalConfiguration class reads and stores the configuration.  Its
instance can be used by other libcamera objects to access the
configuration.  A GlobalConfiguration instance is supposed to be stored
in a well-defined place, e.g. a CameraManager instance.  It is possible
to have multiple GlobalConfiguration instances, which may or may not
make sense.

libcamera configuration can be specified using a system-wide
configuration file or a user configuration file.  The user configuration
file takes precedence if present.  There is currently no way to merge
multiple configuration files, the one found is used as the only
configuration file.  If no configuration file is present, nothing
changes to the current libcamera behavior (except for some log
messages related to configuration file lookup).

The configuration file is a YAML file.  We already have a mechanism for
handling YAML configuration files in libcamera and the given
infrastructure can be reused for the purpose.  However, the
configuration type is abstracted to make contingent future change of the
underlying class easier while retaining (most of) the original API.

The configuration is versioned.  This has currently no particular
meaning but is likely to have its purpose in future, especially once
configuration validation is introduced.

The configuration YAML file looks as follows:

  ---
  version: 1
  configuration:
    WHATEVER CONFIGURATION NEEDED

This patch introduces just the basic idea.  Actually using the
configuration in the corresponding places (everything what is currently
configurable via environment variables should be configurable in the
file configuration) and other enhancements are implemented in the
followup patches.

39d37fce12 libcamera: camera_sensor: getControls(): Use span
The function takes a const std::vector reference, but it does
not actually need an `std::vector`. So use a `libcamera::Span`
instead to avoid forcing the caller to construct a vector.

14882b8314 treewide: Remove top-level const from return types
Top-level `const` qualifiers are not useful, so avoid them. This is done
either by simply removing the top-level `const`, or making the function
return a reference to const where that is appropriate.

3b72e7d306 Revert "controls: Add boolean constructors for ControlInfo"
This reverts commit 10cdc914da.

The constructors introduced by that commit are not used anywhere,
and they do not match the existing practice for boolean controls.

Specifically, every single boolean control is described by calling
the `ControlInfo(ControlValue, ControlValue, ControlValue)`
constructor. Crucially, that constructor does not set `values_`,
while the two removed constructors do. And whether or not `values_`
has any elements is currently used as an implicit sign to decide
whether or not the control is "enum-like", and those are assumed
to have type `int32_t`.

For example, any boolean control described using any of the two
removed constructors would cause an assertion in failure in
`CameraSession::listControls()` when calling `value.get<int32_t>()`.

9c86a405b7 libcamera: base: bound_method: Forward arguments when possible
Use `std::{forward,move}` to forward the arguments, this enables the
use of move constructors, likely leading to less code and better runtime.
For example, move constructing a libstdc++ `std::shared_ptr` is noticeably
less code than copy constructing one.

6ef2d79a73 libcamera: utils: Add scope_exit class
The scope_exit class is an implementation of the identically named C++
library fundamentals TS v3 class, as documented in [1]. It is a simpler
version of the libcamera-specific ScopeExitActions class and doesn't
require dynamic heap memory allocation, making it more suitable for hot
paths.

The class is not documented as it implements a C++ standard (even if
experimental) API.

b37e69d434 libcamera: process: Remove ProcessManager singleton
The `ProcessManager` is a singleton class to handle `SIGCHLD` signals
and report the exit status to the particular `Process` instance.

However, having a singleton in a library is not favourable and it is
even less favourable if it installs a signal handler.

Using pidfd it is possible to avoid the need for the signal handler;
and the `Process` objects can watch their pidfd themselves, eliminating
the need for the `ProcessManager` class altogether.

`P_PIDFD` for `waitid()` was introduced in Linux 5.4, so this change
raises the minimum supported kernel version. `clone3()`, `CLONE_PIDFD`,
`pidfd_send_signal()` were all introduced earlier.

Furthermore, the call to the `unshare()` system call can be removed
as those options can be passed to `clone3()` directly.

5de79e93f0 libcamera: process: Use pid_ member to decide if running
Instead of using a separate member variable, use `pid_ > 0` to determine
if the process is still running. Previously the value of `pid_` was not
reset to -1 when the process terminated, but since it is only meaningful
while the process is running, reset it to -1 in `Process::died()`.

Neither `pid_` nor `running_` are exposed, so this change has no effect
on the public interface or observable behaviour.

b0db9388f6 libcamera: base: log: Take LogCategory by reference
When no log category is specified, `nullptr` is passed, and
then the `_log()` function implementations replace that with
`LogCategory::defaultCategory()`. But since the call site always
knows the log category, this condition can be removed and the
`_LOG1()` macro can use `LogCategory::defaultCategory()`.

So remove the condition from the `_log()` implementations and
use references to refer to log categories.

However, this was not happening during Camera::start(), meaning that
setting AeEnable there was having no effect. It should behave the same
here too.

At the moment the mali-c55 pipeline handler sets bytesused for a
buffer to be the maximum possible size (i.e. the size of a struct
mali_c55_params_buffer). This is not really in keeping with the goal
of the extensible parameters formats, and will not work with the new
framework for those formats. Update the IPA module and pipeline
handler to set bytesused to the size of the parameters that were
actually supplied rather than the maximum possible size.

14618cdd0c libcamera: base: bound_method: Move return value
Instead of copying, just move the returned value when the call is made
through an argument pack. This enables, e.g. `Object::invokeMethod()`
to be usable with functions returning types, such as`std::unique_ptr`,
that have no copy ctor/assignment. Since there are no other users of
the argument pack object, this is safe to do. Reference return types
are not supported, so a simple `std::move()` is sufficient.
