This patchset introduces two GStreamer features for libcamera. A
GstDeviceProvider that allow enumerating the cameras and a libcamerasrc element
the allow streaming from a selected camera.

This is an early implementation that is not feature complete. It is designed to
support multiple streams even though it currently only allow one srcpad. The goal
of this submission is to get an inital element merged so that further
improvement can happen incrementally.

To test these features, you'll need GStreamer 1.16 (downgrade might be
possible). To get the list of cameras you can run the following. Regression
exist in the monitor of GStreamer 1.16.2 that may cause a crash, and also in
master that may show nothing. This will be addressed in later release of
GStreamer.

  gst-device-monitor-1.0 Video/Source

To stream from a cameram, you can use the following pipeline:

  gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
