52e65c9f38 libcamera: value_node: Add functions to erase child nodes
There will be a need to erase child nodes when implementing support for
overriding configuration options. Add two erase() functions to the
ValueNode class, mimicking the add() API.

More erase() overloads could be added, for instance taking iterators as
parameters, to improve efficiency. This should be considered later, when
usage of the ValueNode class will expand, based on the actual usage
patterns.

bb1f1f1da9 libcamera: value_node: Support looking up descendant node by path
Looking up a descendant node based on a path is a common operation. Add
a helper function to do so, to avoid loops in the callers.

719dbcdcde libcamera: value_node: Support adding nested children in one operation
The GlobalConfiguration class will need to add nested children to a
ValueNode. Add a new overload to the add() function for this purpose.

eafc366012 libcamera: value_node: Add mutable children accessors
Add two at() functions that return mutable pointer to child nodes, based
on an index for lists and a key for dictionaries.

The API differs from const children accessors that use operator[] and
return a reference in order to allow better error handling: while the
const accessors return a reference to a global instance of an empty
ValueNode when the requested child doesn't exist, a mutable accessor
can't do the same without allowing modifying the empty global instance.

b25556c691 libcamera: value_node: Add mutable adapters
The ValueNode class was initially designed to store read-only property
trees. It is useful to also provide mutable access. Add non-const
adapters and iterators and adapters. This allows obtaining a mutable
ValueNode instance when traversing a tree.

49aa81b9ec libcamera: value_node: Rework templates to prepare for mutable views
ValueNode provides adapter classes to expose the object as an iteratable
list or dictionary. The Iterator and Adapter classes hardcode the
assumption that the ValueNode is const. To prepare for mutable views,
move the const specifier to the top-level DictAdapter and ListAdapter
class templates.

7f854199a3 libcamera: value_node: Add constructor with value
The new constructor takes a value, allowing creation of a leaf ValueNode
with a value in a single operation instead of having to call set() on an
empty node.

554c5c7fa1 libcamera: Rename YamlObject to ValueNode
The YamlObject class is now a generic data container to model trees of
values. Rename it to ValueNode and expand the class documentation.

While at it, drop the unneeded libcamera:: namespace prefix when using
the ValueNode class.
