The CameraManager object should be deleted when it is no longer used to
prevent it from leaking.
When the application closes, the memory will be released, but it would
show up in reports from memory validation tools such as valgrind if not
handled correctly.
Recommend best-practices in the guide and ensure it is automatically
cleaned up when the CameraManager goes out of scope.

The build and run instructions read as if meson is the only way to
compile the application. Although this is recommended, it is not
required - adapt the language to fit better.
While here, fix the naming of the simple_cam meson object to match
the other usages of 'simple-cam'.

Usage of 'method' to refer to member functions comes from Java. The C++
standard uses the term 'function' only. Replace 'method' with 'function'
or 'member function' through the whole code base and documentation.

The BoundMethod and Object::invokeMethod() are left as-is here, and will

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.

There is no need to pass the Camera pointer to queueRequest(),
completeBuffer() and completeRequest() as the Request also passed
contains the same information. Remove the Camera argument to avoid
situations where the information in the Request and the argument differ.
There is no functional change and no public API change as the interface
is only used between the Camera and PipelineHandler.

Applications now have the ability to pass in controls that need to be
applied on startup, rather than doing it through Request where there might
be some frames of delay in getting the controls applied.
This commit adds the ability to pass in a set of libcamera controls into
the pipeline handlers through the pipeline_handler::start() method. These
controls are provided by the application through the camera::start()
public API.
