/**
 * \class GlobalConfiguration
 * \brief Support for global libcamera configuration
 *
 * The configuration file is a YAML file and the configuration itself is stored
 * under a `configuration' top-level item.
 *
 * The configuration file is looked up in the user's home directory first and,
 * if it is not found, then in system-wide configuration directories. If
 * multiple configuration files exist then only the first one found is used and
 * no configuration merging is performed.
 *
 * If the first found configuration file cannot be opened or parsed, an error is
 * reported and no configuration file is used. This is to prevent libcamera from
 * using an unintended configuration file.
 *
 * The configuration can be accessed using the provided helpers, namely
 * option(), envOption(), listOption() and envListOption() to access individual
 * options, or configuration() to access the whole configuration.
