Startup options on the web server

Several tools are being added to the web server to add efficient startups.

Save and restore for camera settings

Without a save and restore tool for SwissFEL camera settings, this tool sets listed camera settings for Basler and PCO edge cameras.

Database

The tool uses the camera configuration files on the camera server (accessible via CSM or API) as a database for the settings. By adding a dictionary called "hardware_configuration" to the camera configuration:

"hardware_configuration": {
  "EXPOSURE": 9.9,
  "HSSPEED": 1,
  "REGIONX_START": 1,
  "REGIONY_START": 500
 },

where the item names are the suffix of the PV name of the camera PV to set. For example, for the camera SARFE10-PSSS059 the item in the dictionary above EXPOSURE sets the PV SARFE10-PSSS059:EXPOSURE to 9.9
