Niklas Söderlund eb4030f6c0 libcamera: allocator: Add FrameBufferAllocator to help applications allocate buffers
The FrameBuffer interface is based on the idea that all buffers are
allocated externally to libcamera and are only used by it. This is meant
to create a simpler API centered around usage of buffers, regardless of
where they come from.

Linux however lacks a centralized allocator at the moment, and not all
users of libcamera are expected to use another device that could provide
suitable buffers for the camera. This patch thus adds a helper class to
allocate buffers internally in libcamera, in a way that matches the
needs of the FrameBuffer-based API.
