[PATCH v2 0/4] MediaLink: Provide a string representation

[Kieran Bingham]

Provide a .toString() helper and a corresponding overload<< operator to
directly report a string representation of a Link in a common and
defined way.

Patches 2 and 3 then replace existing locations that report MediaLink
objects in a string form to use the new shorthand, and I have more
development on top which will also use this.

Following a recommendation from the previous iteration, this further
breaks the helpers down and adds a MediaPad helper too.

  libcamera: media_device: Use MediaLink string helper
