e228c290c9 libcamera/base: Validate internal headers as private
Headers which must not be exposed as part of the public libcamera API
should include base/private.h.

Any interface which includes the private.h header will only be able to
build if the libcamera_private dependency is used (or the
libcamera_base_private dependency directly).

Build targets which are intended to use the private API's will use the
libcamera_private to handle the automatic definition of the inclusion
guard.

94d1af771e meson: summarise paths
The IPAs are loaded from a defined location set as IPA_MODULE_DIR.
Furthermore, configuration files for both libcamera and IPAs are loaded
from paths defined during the meson configuration.

To make it easy to identify these locations for a given configuration,
present them as a 'paths' section in the meson summary.

This adds a summary section to meson in the form:

  Paths
    LIBCAMERA_DATA_DIR       : "/usr/share/libcamera"
    LIBCAMERA_SYSCONF_DIR    : "/etc/camera/libcamera"
    IPA_PROXY_DIR            : "/usr/libexec/libcamera"
    IPA_CONFIG_DIR           : "/etc/camera/libcamera/ipa:/usr/share/libcamera/ipa"
    IPA_MODULE_DIR           : "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcamera"

e201cb4f54 libcamera: IPAInterface: Replace C API with the new C++-only API
Remove everything related to the C API, including ipa_context,
ipa_context_wrapper, and IPAInterfaceWrapper. Also remove relevant
documentation.

ipaCreate() provided by IPA implementations, and createInterface()
provided by IPAModule (wrapper around IPA implementation) both now
return a C++ object IPAInterface instead of struct ipa_context.

Although IPAInterfaceWrapper is the only component of libipa, the
skeleton and build files for libipa are retained.

After converting the C API to the C++-only API, make all pipeline
handlers and IPAs use the new API.

libcamera: IPAProxy, IPAManager: Switch to one-proxy-per-pipeline scheme

IPAProxy is changed in two major ways:
- Every pipeline has its own proxy, to support each pipeline's IPA
  interface
- IPAProxy implementations always encapsulate IPA modules, and switch
  internally for isolation or threaded

The IPAProxy registration mechanism is removed, as each pipeline will
have its own proxy, so the pipeline can pass the specialized class name
of the IPAProxy to the IPAManager for construction.

IPAManager is changed accordingly to support these changes:
- createIPA is a template function that takes an IPAProxy class, and
  always returns an IPAProxy
- IPAManager no longer decides on isolation, and simply creates an
  IPAProxy instance while passing the isolation flag

Consequently, the old IPAProxy classes (IPAProxyThread and
IPAProxyLinux) are removed. The IPAInterfaceTest is updated to use
the new IPAManager interface, and to construct a ProcessManager as no
single global instance is created anymore.

f934fd1cb9 libcamera: Move IPA headers from include/ipa/ to include/libcamera/ipa/
The IPA headers are installed into $prefix/include/libcamera/ipa/, but
are located in the source tree in include/ipa/. This requires files
within libcamera to include them with

 #include <ipa/foo.h>

while a third party IPA would need to use

 #include <libcamera/ipa/foo.h>

Not only is this inconsistent, it can create issues later if IPA headers
need to include each other, as the first form of include directive
wouldn't be valid once the headers are installed.

Fix the problem by moving the IPA headers to include/libcamera/ipa/.

93e72b695e libcamera: Move internal headers to include/libcamera/internal/
The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)

  #include "semaphore.h"

All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a

  #include <semaphore.h>

to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.

Three options have been considered to fix this issue:

- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
  consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
  version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.

- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
  beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
  system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
  particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
  fixed.

- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
  namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
  the existing source files through the all project.

The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.

The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

0219dc71b3 libcamera: ipa_manager: Proxy open-source IPAs to a thread
While closed-source IPA modules will always be sandboxed, open-source
IPA modules may be run in the main libcamera process or be sandboxed,
depending on platform configuration. These two models exhibit very
different timings, which require extensive testing with both
configurations.

When run into the main libcamera process, IPA modules are executed in
the pipeline handler thread (which is currently a global CameraManager
thread). Time-consuming operations in the IPA may thus slow down the
pipeline handler and compromise real-time behaviour. At least some
pipeline handlers will thus likely spawn a thread to isolate the IPA,
leading to code duplication in pipeline handlers.

Solve both issues by always proxying IPA modules. For open-source IPA
modules that run in the libcamera process, a new IPAProxyThread class is
added to run the IPA in a separate thread.

5f90d52d6e ipa: Pass ControlInfoMap references to IPAInterface::configure()
The IPAInterface::configure() operation receives a map of ControlInfoMap
instances. Pass const references instead to avoid copies when not
required (the callee can still make manual copies), and to allow for the
future serialization layer to keep references to the original object.

319d6ae8e3 libcamera: controls: Merge ControlInfoMap and V4L2ControlInfoMap
The ControlInfoMap and V4L2ControlInfoMap classes are very similar, with
the latter adding convenience accessors based on numerical IDs for the
former, as well as a cached idmap. Both features can be useful for
ControlInfoMap in the context of serialisation, and merging the two
classes will further simplify the IPA API.

Import all the features of V4L2ControlInfoMap into ControlInfoMap,
turning the latter into a real class. A few new constructors and
assignment operators are added for completeness.

1e704c84a9 libcamera: Move ipa includes to the same level as libcamera
The ipa includes are located in include/libcamera/ipa/. This gives an
incorrect impression that they are a sub-part of the rest of the
libcamera API, while they are the API towards the IPA the same way that
include/libcamera/ contains the API towards applications. To clarify
this, move them to include/ipa/.

The IPA headers are however still part of libcamera, so installing them
to ${prefix}/include/ipa/ would make little sense. To fix this, move the
application facing API to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/libcamera/ when
installed, and the IPA to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/ipa/. When major
versions of libcamera will be released, they could then be installed
side by side in ${prefix}/include/libcamera-${version}/.
