The sequence number of captured frames is logged to the console with
padding to 6 characters to increase readability. The output is however
incorrect, as 123 is printed as 00012300000. This is caused by the
auto-space feature of QDebug, which inserts a space after every field.
This doesn't play well with stream format manipulation, as it ends up
padding the automatically inserted space the same way as the previous
argument.
This is a bug in Qt, work around it by formatting the sequence number
manually.

If the camera specified on the command line can't be opened, the

The viewfinder is currently expected to render frames to the screen
synchronously in the display() function, or at least to copy data so
that the buffer can be queued in a new request when the function
returns. This prevents optimisations when the capture format is
identical to the display format.
Make the viewfinder take ownership of the buffer, and notify of its
release through a signal. The release is currently still synchronous,
this will be addressed in a subsequent patch.
Rename the ViewFinder::display() function to render() to better describe
its purpose, as it's meant to start the rendering and not display the
frame synchronously.

The qcam application installs a custom event dispatcher based on the Qt
event loop. As the camera manager now creates an internal thread, it
doesn't use that event dispatcher of the application thread at all.
Furthermore, the custom event dispatcher is buggy, as it doesn't
dispatch messages posted to the main thread's event loop. This isn't an
issue as no messages are posted there in the first place, but would
cause incorrect behaviour if we were to use that feature (for instance
to deliver signals from the camera manager thread to the application
thread).
Fixing the event dispatcher requires a change in the libcamera public
API, as there's currently no way to dispatch messages using the public
API (Thread::dispatchMessages() is not exposed). This isn't worth it at
the moment, so just remove the custom event dispatcher. If qcam later
needs the libcamera request and buffer completion signals to be
delivered in the application thread, it will need to handle that
internally, using Qt's cross-thread signal delivery.
