Add more robust program arguments support to `capture` #75

Add more robust program options support to capture. I did a quick survey of available libraries and https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11 appears to be popular and uses modern C++. It is available as libcli11-dev on Ubuntu 22.04.

Use this as an opportunity to replace some of the hard-coded constants in the software with program args. Some to consider:

[x] SER output filename
[x] Camera name
[x] Preview window frame rate throttle
[x] Histogram window refresh rate
[x] Whether or not to start up with disk writing paused
[x] Initial gain and exposure time
[x] AGC enable at startup

Further work to do:

[ ] Update CMake for capture to remove add_subdirectory(CLI11) and instead require CLI11 to be installed in the host system.

I've done the work on branch cli11. As of now, in CMake CLI11 is added as a subdirectory.
