gerbera: fix build against fmt 12.2.0

fmt 12.2.0 turns <fmt/core.h> into a shim that only pulls in
<fmt/base.h>, which no longer declares fmt::format() and no longer drags
in <cstring> transitively. gerbera 3.0.0 relied on both, so do_compile
fails first with:

  src/exceptions.cc:37:31: error: no member named 'format' in namespace 'fmt'

and, once that is addressed, with a second wave of:

  src/util/thread_runner.h:194:68: error: no member named 'strerror' in namespace 'std'
  src/content/inotify/mt_inotify.cc:163:13: error: no member named 'memcpy' in namespace 'std'
  src/util/url_utils.cc:144:24: error: no member named 'strchr' in namespace 'std'

Add two backport patches:

* 0001 switches the central headers exceptions.h and search_handler.h
  from <fmt/core.h> to <fmt/format.h> (upstream commit 9507706136fd).
* 0002 adds an explicit #include <cstring> to every translation unit
  that uses std::strerror/std::memcpy/std::strchr (based on upstream
  commit 7caa9ae9ebf5, extended to cover all affected files in this
  release).

Neither fix is in any released gerbera tag (both are master-only), so a
version bump would not help; backporting is the least invasive option.

Subject: [PATCH] fix build against fmt 12: include fmt/format.h
Since fmt 11, <fmt/core.h> is a thin shim that only pulls in <fmt/base.h>
and no longer declares fmt::format() unless FMT_DEPRECATED_HEAVY_CORE is
defined. fmt 12.2.0 finishes the job and the build fails with:
src/exceptions.cc:37:31: error: no member named 'format' in namespace 'fmt'
: std::runtime_error(fmt::format("{}: Error: {}", message, userMessage))
Include <fmt/format.h> in the central headers that expose fmt::format()
to the rest of the tree (exceptions.h via throw_std_runtime_error, and
search_handler.h) so all consumers see the declaration again.
Backport of gerbera commit 9507706136fd.

Subject: [PATCH] include <cstring> for std::strerror / std::memcpy / std::strchr
Several translation units use std::strerror(), std::memcpy() and
std::strchr() but relied on <cstring> being pulled in transitively
through <fmt/core.h> (and other headers). With fmt 12 the fmt headers no
longer drag in <cstring>, so the build fails with:
src/util/thread_runner.h:194:68: error: no member named 'strerror' in namespace 'std'
src/content/inotify/mt_inotify.cc:163:13: error: no member named 'memcpy' in namespace 'std'
src/util/url_utils.cc:144:24: error: no member named 'strchr' in namespace 'std'
Include <cstring> explicitly in every file that uses these functions.
Based on upstream gerbera commit 7caa9ae9ebf5, extended to cover all
affected translation units in this release.
