libcamera compiled in OpenEmbedded

I have compiled 'libcamera' in OpenEmbedded, as well as these extra python modules:
libcamera 202002+gitAUTOINC+a8be6e94e7
python3-jinja2 2.11.3
python3-markupsafe 1.1.1
python3-pyyaml 5.3.1
It is annoying: the latest version of libcamera requires 'meson'
0.55.0 to compile, whereas OE Dunfell release only has 0.53.0, as
reported here:
https://bkhome.org/news/202110/meson-version-bumped-to-0592.html
It's annoying because one of the reasons developers are moving away
from autools to build systems like meson, is because of version
breakage.
Anyway, I can bump libcamera version later. I want it, any version, right now, as it is an optional dependency for 'pipewire'.
Those python modules are only needed for compiling libcamera, so I will put them in the 'devx' SFS, in case want to compile libcamera in a running EasyOS.
