Laurent Pinchart b0135a1522 libcamera: bound_method: Manage BoundMethodPack through std::shared_ptr
The bound method arguments pack will need to be accessed by the method
invoker in order to retrieve the method return value when using a
blocking connection type. We thus can't delete the pack unconditionally
in the bound method target thread. We also can't delete it
unconditionally in the invoker's thread, as for queued connections the
pack will be used in the target thread after the invoker completes.

This shows that ownership of the arguments pack is shared between two
contexts. As a result, manage it using std::shared_ptr<>.

*
* The messaging API enables inter-thread communication through message
* posting. Messages can be sent from any thread to any recipient deriving from
* the Object class.
*
* To post a message, the sender allocates it dynamically as instance of a class
* derived from Message. It then posts the message to an Object recipient
* through Object::postMessage(). Message ownership is passed to the object,
* thus the message shall not store any temporary data.
*
* The message is delivered in the context of the object's thread, through the
* Object::message() virtual method. After delivery the message is
* automatically deleted.
