Command Connector Recommendations

Description

Added new code that is designed to perform calculations related to the requirements for Command Connectors based on camera specifications. It defines a Connector type to encapsulate the attributes of connectors, such as storage capacity and channel range.

• The code includes functions to compile lists of cameras based on their megapixel ratings, calculate the total number of channels required for low and high megapixel cameras, and determine the necessary storage based on retention periods.

• Additionally, it provides functionality to recommend connectors that meet specified channel and storage requirements, as well as a utility to calculate megapixels from image dimensions.

Type of change

• [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• [x] This change requires a documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

• [x] Camera Compatibility Sheet.csv
• [x] Camera Compatibility Sheet 2.csv
• [x] Camera Compatibility Sheet 3.csv
• [ ] Camera Compatibility Sheet 4.csv
• [ ] Camera Compatibility Sheet 5.csv
• [x] Camera Compatibility Sheet 6.csv

The two tests above failed as they are highly dependent on the functionality of stripping the manufacturer name from the data.
