feat(ddg2): make the detector-trigger readout time configurable
The gap between consecutive detector triggers is exp_time minus a readout
time that was a module constant fixed at 0.2 ms. Some detectors need more:
FalconcSAXS declares MIN_READOUT = 3 ms, fifteen times longer. Nothing
reconciled the two -- DDG2 does not know which detectors are in the scan,
and the falcon only validates its exposure time, never the gap -- so a
detector that cannot keep up silently dropped frames.

There was also no way to change it. on_stage recomputes the pulse width
from the constant on every scan, so a value set by hand from the client did
not survive to the next acquisition.

The readout times are now per-instance, settable two ways: a readout_times
key in deviceConfig for a per-deployment default, and set_readout_times()
via USER_ACCESS for a change between scans. Raising the value widens the gap
and shortens the exposure by the same amount; burst_period stays at exp_time,
so the frame rate is unaffected.

Channel pair 'ab' is the one multiplexed to the detectors and normally the
only one worth changing. A value that would exceed the exposure time is
rejected, and a non-default value is logged at on_stage so a scan taken with
a widened gap is recoverable from the logs.
