cc4de52524 test: Register the initialisation test with meson
Register the test so that it can integrate with the meson test
framework.

To execute the test suite, use 'ninja test'.

23ac77dc4a utils: ipu3: Add IPU3 raw capture unpack utility
The IPU3 captures Bayer data in a 25-pixels-in-32-bytes packed format,
which no standard tool can process. Add a quick implementation of data
unpacking to turn raw binary files into 16 bits per pixel unpacked Bayer
data.

708d3c9fc0 build: Provide initial meson infrastructure
Define the starting points for the libcamera build using
meson and ninja build components.

An initial 'dummy' library class is created, and a test binary links
against the shared library calling it's init_lib() function.

87ba17ba41 libcamera: Supporting complex camera pipelines
Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing
operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms
that must run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been
implemented in a dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices
algorithms have been moved to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the
boundary between camera devices and Linux often left the user with no
other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution.

To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently
started collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that
will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP.
libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern
camera support to Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux
distributions, ChromeOS and Android.
