libcamera: object: Avoid argument copies in invokeMethod()

Template argument deduction results in the lvalue and lvalue reference
arguments to the invokeMethod() function causing deduction of the Args
template type to a non-reference type. This results in the argument
being passed by value and copied.

Fix this by using a cv-unqualified rvalue reference parameter type. The
type is then deduced to an lvalue reference when the argument is an
lvalue or lvalue reference, due to a combination of the special template
argument deduction rule for rvalue reference parameter types:

  If P is an rvalue reference to a cv-unqualified template parameter
  (so-called forwarding reference), and the corresponding function call
  argument is an lvalue, the type lvalue reference to A is used in place
  of A for deduction.

and the reference collapsing rule
(https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/reference#Reference_collapsing).
