The MediaDevice class will be the entry point to hot-unplug, as it
corresponds to the kernel devices that will report device removal
events. The class will signal media device disconnection to pipeline
handlers, which will clean up resources as a result.
This can't be performed synchronously as references may exist to the
related Camera objects in applications. The MediaDevice object thus
needs to be reference-counted in order to support unplugging, as
otherwise pipeline handlers would be required to drop all the references
to the media device they have borrowed synchronously with the
disconnection signal handler, which would be very error prone (if even
possible at all in a sane way).
Handle MedieDevice instances with std::shared_ptr<> to support this.

The PipelineHandler which creates a Camera is responsible for serving
any operation requested by the user. In order forward the public API
calls, the camera needs to store a reference to its pipeline handler.

Changes since v1:
- Create pipeline handlers is shared pointers, make them inherit from
std::enable_shared_from_this<> and stored them in shared pointers.
Instead of passing the camera manager pointer to the match() function,
and later to more PipelineHandler functions, store it in the
PipelineHandler::manager_ member variable at construction time and
access it from there.

Provide a pipeline handler for uvcvideo devices. The entity names for
UVC devices are different for different cameras so matching on entity
names is not possible in the generic case. This leaves options to create
specialized UVC pipeline handlers if needed to fit a specific model's
needs.
