Robert Mader 848b6326a9 monitor-utils: Rework camera deduplication code
The previous code made some invalid assumptions and was rather
complicated. Rework and simplify it.

The approach work as follows:
1. Once a new device gets registered, store its data in a list of pending
   devices.
2. Start a timer. On timeout, we check all pending devices and depulicate
   according to our heuristic. The timer gets reset whenever a device is
   added in order to avoid race conditions.
3. On timeout, add the pending devices to categories. For now: UVC cameras
   from the V4L2 plugin, libcamera cameras and other cameras from the V4L2
   plugin.
4. Then process the different categories in order of preference and store
   their V4L2 device IDs in a list for each plugin.
5. Before creating a camera, check that the V4L2 device(s) it uses are not
   yet used by a already existing camera from the other plugin.

While on it, drop support for Pipewire versions that don't report V4L2
device IDs at all.

WirePlumber is a modular session / policy manager for
`PipeWire <https://pipewire.org>`_ and a GObject-based high-level library
that wraps PipeWire's API, providing convenience for writing the daemon's
modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire.

The WirePlumber daemon implements the session & policy management service.
It follows a modular design, having plugins that implement the actual
management functionality.

The WirePlumber Library provides API that allows you to extend the WirePlumber
daemon, to write management or status tools for PipeWire
(apps that don't do actual media streaming) and to write custom session managers
for embedded devices.
