libcamera: pipeline_handler: Don't index factories by name

Pipeline handler factories are register in a map indexed by their name,
and the list of names is used to expose the factories and look them up.
This is unnecessary cumbersome, we can instead store factories in a
vector and expose it directly. The pipeline factory users will still
have access to the factory names through the factory name() function.

The PipelineHandlerFactory::create() method becomes so simple that it
can be inlined in its single caller, removing the unneeded usage of the
DeviceEnumerator in the factory.
