pygobject ships no PyPI wheels, so pip install always compiles it from
source, which requires the OS gobject-introspection dev package at
install time. As a mandatory dependency this broke plain `pip install
csaxs_bec` on CI and on Read the Docs, neither of which has that
package installed. Move it to the `allied_vision` extra so only hosts
that actually run the camera (which already need Aravis + the OS
package present) opt in via `pip install csaxs_bec[allied_vision]`.

Update the placeholder camera_id in allied_vision_test.yaml/bl_detectors.yaml
to the Aravis device ID discovered on the actual Alvium G1-507m hardware,
and set live_mode back to False (explicit, not deleted) so the camera stays
idle until start_live_mode() is called -- matching every real IDS camera
config, instead of auto-starting its live-mode polling thread as soon as
the device connects.
Pin pygobject<3.52 in pyproject.toml: 3.52+ requires girepository-2.0
(GLib >=2.80/gobject-introspection >=1.80), which this RHEL9 host's system
packages don't provide (only the older girepository-1.0 via
gobject-introspection 1.68) -- unpinned pip install fails at build time.
Document both the camera_id lookup and the pin in the README.
The prior commit only captured the file renames (a botched `git add`
dropped the actual edits). This commit carries the real diff: Aravis
GObject-introspection backend in base_integration/camera.py, renamed
class/config references, and the rewritten README.

Adds AlliedVisionVmbCamera, talking to the Alvium G1-507m directly over
GigE Vision via vmbpy (Vimba X SDK) instead of the existing dead EPICS
IOC-based AlliedVisionCamera, which is left in place for now. Includes
the low-level Camera wrapper, simulation backend, device config example,
tests, and a README covering setup/testing/vmbpy install steps.
