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].
