Add a helper invokeMethod() to the Object class that allows asynchrnous
invocation of any method of an Object instance. Asynchronous invocation
occurs when control returns to the event dispatcher of the target

To support this, generalise the SignalMessage implementation to support
automatic deletion of the associated BoundMethod, and rename the message
to InvokeMessage to reflect the more generic purpose.

When stopping the stream buffers have been queued, in which case their
completion is never be notified to the user. This can lead to memory
leaks. Fix it by notifying completion of all queued buffers with the
status set to error.
As a result the base PipelineHandler implementation can be simplified,
as all requests complete as the result of stopping the stream. The
stop() method that manually completes all queued requests isn't needed

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.
