Cam uses libevent to deal with threads and idle loop while still
implementing its own event queue. This creates issues when the event
loop is terminated as it might get stuck in the idle loop if exit() is
called while the thread is busy with dispatchCalls().
Solve this by removing the custom event execution and instead injecting
the calls as events to the base event loop.

The 'event' variable name is usually used for events added to the base
event loop, not the loop itself. Rename the struct event_base member to
base_ as a preparation for future work adding events to the loop.
There is no functional change.

Add a simple event loop to the cam application and use it in the main()
function, with an example of how to handle SIGINT to gracefully stop the
loop.
