Review and generalize Aravis device

[PeterBowman]

Our AravisGigE device could benefit from a thorough review. It was designed to work on a GigE (the "E" stands for ethernet) camera on Aravis 0.4 built via Makefiles. Nowadays, we would use Aravis 0.8 built with Meson and extend our plugin to also cover USB3 cameras (such as the Flea3 FL3-U3-88S2C-C from Point Grey). An industry standard that covers both protocols is GenICam, therefore I'd suggest renaming AravisGigE to GenICamCamera (or GenICam, GenICamDevice, etc.).

In order to use our camera, I had to update its firmware through the Point Grey FlyCap2 software (on Windows). After that, I was able to receive frames also on Linux. Backup (can't tell which one worked for me, but the firmware update on Linux surely didn't):

• FL3-GE-1.26.3.0.zip
