Many signals used in internal and public APIs carry the emitter pointer
as a signal argument. This was done to allow slots connected to multiple
signal instances to differentiate between emitters. While starting from
a good intention of facilitating the implementation of slots, it turned
out to be a bad API design as the signal isn't meant to know what it
will be connected to, and thus shouldn't carry parameters that are
solely meant to support a use case specific to the connected slot.
These pointers turn out to be unused in all slots but one. In the only
case where it is needed, it can be obtained by wrapping the slot in a
lambda function when connecting the signal. Do so, and drop the emitter
pointer from all signals.

ControlInfoMap does not have a ControlId map associated, but rather
creates one with the generateIdMap() function at creation time.
As a consequence, when in the need to de-serialize a ControlInfoMap all
the ControlId it contains are created by the deserializer instance, not
being able to discern if the controls the ControlIdMap refers to are the
global libcamera controls (and properties) or instances local to the
V4L2 device that has first initialized the controls.
As a consequence the ControlId stored in a de-serialized map will always
be newly created entities, preventing lookup by ControlId reference on a
de-serialized ControlInfoMap.
In order to make it possible to use globally available ControlId
instances whenever possible, create ControlInfoMap with a reference to
an externally allocated ControlIdMap instead of generating one
internally.
As a consequence the class constructors take and additional argument,
which might be not pleasant to type in, but enforces the concepts that
ControlInfoMap should be created with controls part of the same id map.
As the ControlIdMap the ControlInfoMap refers to needs to be allocated
externally:
- Use the globally available controls::controls (or
properties::properties) id map when referring to libcamera controls
- The V4L2 device that creates ControlInfoMap by parsing the device's
controls has to allocate a ControlIdMap
- The ControlSerializer that de-serializes a ControlInfoMap has to
create and store the ControlIdMap the de-serialized info map refers to

Move the functionality for the following components to the new
base support library:
- BoundMethod
- EventDispatcher
- EventDispatcherPoll
- Log
- Message
- Object
- Signal
- Semaphore
- Thread
- Timer
While it would be preferable to see these split to move one component
per commit, these components are all interdependent upon each other,
which leaves us with one big change performing the move for all of them.

V4L2ControlId and V4L2ControlInfo are just convenience classes to
create ControlId and ControlInfo from v4l2_query_ext_control.
Therefore, there is no need of being a class. It is used only
from V4L2Device. This removes the classes and put the equivalent
functions of creating ControlId and ControlInfo in
v4l2_device.cpp.

The minimum and maximum vblanking can change when a new format is
applied to the sensor subdevice, so be sure to retrieve up-to-date
values.
The V4L2Device acquires the new updateControlInfo() method to perform
this function, and which the CameraSensor calls automatically if its
setFormat method is used to update the sensor.
However, not all pipeline handlers invoke the setFormat method
directly, so the new method must be made publicly available for
pipeline handlers to call if they need to.

There are use cases for getting the file descriptor of a const
V4L2Device instance, for instance to print it in a log. Make the
function const. There's little risk of abuse here (as in code then
performing operations on the file descriptors that conceptually modify
the V4L2 device), as the fd() function is protected.

With the internal headers now in include/libcamera/internal/, we may
have identically named headers in include/libcamera/. Their header
guards would clash. Rename the header guards of internal headers to
prevent any issue.

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/.
