DepthCamera compilation error on clang / macOS

There is a compilation error for clang / macOS in OgreScene.cc related to the DepthCamera class since pull request #93. I haven't tested with clang on Ubuntu yet.

The clearest way to see the error is by adding the following static_assert:

This passes on Ubuntu with gcc, but fails on macOS with clang:

One thing to check is if this failure occurs with clang on Ubuntu.

I just confirmed that the build fails with clang on ubuntu, but it also gave an extra error message with a clue about how to fix it:

error: cannot cast
      'ignition::rendering::v1::OgreDepthCamera' to its protected base class 'const
      std::enable_shared_from_this<ignition::rendering::v1::BaseObject>'
          if (auto __base = __enable_shared_from_this_base(_M_refcount, __p))
                                                                        ^
...
include/ignition/rendering/base/BaseDepthCamera.hh:43:7: note: constrained by protected inheritance
      here

I'm testing inheriting with public instead of protected in d320c7365e0e6f474b6ddfd2a109552f7b95dca6
