It can be beneficial to allow reporting the devices used by a camera to
facilitate de-duplication of resources when handling cameras from a
centralised infrastructure such as PipeWire.

Expose a new property on all cameras which reports a list of dev_t
values representing devices used by the camera.

Pipelines supported by media-controller will automatically register an
entry for any video node present in the media graphs registered with the
Pipeline Handler..

As part of supporting this, we move the addCamera and removeCamera
public API calls from the CameraManager class away into an internal
implementation of the CameraManager with the use of the Extensible
class.
