/**
 * \class CameraManager
 * \brief Provide access and manage all cameras in the system
 *
 * The camera manager is the entry point to libcamera. It enumerates devices,
 * associates them with pipeline managers, and provides access to the cameras
 * in the system to applications. The manager owns all Camera objects and
 * handles hot-plugging and hot-unplugging to manage the lifetime of cameras.
 *
 * To interact with libcamera, an application retrieves the camera manager
 * instance with CameraManager::instance(). The manager is initially stopped,
 * and shall be configured before being started. In particular a custom event
 * dispatcher shall be installed if needed with
 * CameraManager::setEventDispatcher().
 *
 * Once the camera manager is configured, it shall be started with start().
 * This will enumerate all the cameras present in the system, which can then be
 * listed with list() and retrieved with get().
 *
 * Cameras are reference-counted, and shall be returned to the camera manager
 * with Camera::put() after being used. Once all cameras have been returned to
 * the manager, it can be stopped with stop().
 *
 * \todo Add ability to add and remove media devices based on hot-(un)plug
 * events coming from the device enumerator.
 *
 * \todo Add interface to register a notification callback to the user to be
 * able to inform it new cameras have been hot-plugged or cameras have been
 * removed due to hot-unplug.
