This PR adds preliminary support for the Merlin detector.
It implements a new camera interface to interact with the Merlin software over a socket connection. The new interface can be tested by setting interface: merlin in your camera.yaml. See: instamatic/config/camera/merlin.yaml for an example.
What is working:
getMovie
getImage
streaming to GUI
Stable continuous readout
Limitations:
Only works under limited configuration conditions
Only works for quad setup (512x512) for now
No performance optimizations, interface may be slow
