requester: Add new APIs for instance ID allocation and freeing

This patch starts the move of instance id handling into libpldm.
Currently pldmd allocates instance ids, and exposes a DBus call for
external apps to get instance ids. It relies on exploiting a behaviour
of mctp-demux to reclaim used ids by monitoring all incoming PLDM
responses. When moving to AF_MCTP, PLDM messages are not broadcast to
all PLDM sockets, and so this method of reclaiming ids won't work
automatically.

As instance id handling is moving into libpldm eventually, we may as
well do that now rather than adding an additional step to address this
issue. So an allocate and free function for instance ids is added in
this patch. As this implementation uses file locking, we have the
feature of any ids belonging to a process that dies being automatically
reclaimed into the id pool.

Some context behind the file based range locking design for instance IDs
can be found here:

libpldm: Migrate to subproject

Organize files in libpldm to make it a subproject

In the current state, libpldm is not readily consumable
as a subproject.This commit does all the necessary re-organisation
of the source code to make it work as a subproject.

There are no .c/.h files changes in this commit, only meson
changes and re-organising the code structure.
