Pipewire allows us to easily track whether any cameras are in used by checking the state of camera nodes. Add a simple camera monitor to the shell, allowing us to show e.g. a status indicator. Naturally the monitor is limited to apps using Pipewire for camera access and thus subject to the same chicken-egg problem like the camera portal - it could confuse users that apps may use the camera without being noticed by the monitor. The hope and assumption here is that a better shell integration might speed up adoption of the new camera APIs Pipewire 0.3.49 is required for refcounted `pw_init()`/`pw_deinit()`.
