[PATCH 1/2] libipa: awb: Fix non-virtual destructor warning in AwbStats

The AwbStats structure has virtual functions but a publicly accessible
non-virtual destructors. This can cause undefined behaviour if deleting
a derived class instance through a pointer to the base AwbStats class.

The problem is theoretical only as no code in libcamera is expected to
perform such deletion, but compilers can't know that and will emit a
warning if the -Wnon-virtual-dtor option is enabled.

Fixing this can be done by declaring a virtual public destructor in the
AwbStats class. A more efficient alternative is to declare a protected
non-virtual destructor, ensuring that instances can't be deleted through
a pointer to the base class. Do so, and mark the derived RkISP1AwbStats
as final to avoid the same warning.
