📄 Description

This PR implements libSceCamera using SDL3's SDL_camera API. Currently WIP, but so far, all the core code is hooked up, and everything that my test homebrew is using is implemented in enough detail for a correct image to be displayed. Actual games using the camera will likely not work just yet, and ironically enough, the PR doesn't work correctly with the actual PS4 Camera either, as the frame data from it has both eyes submitted in one buffer, which I'll need to separate into their own buffers manually. That is not to say it won't display anything, the resulting image will just be very distorted.

To get started, hook up a webcam, capture card, or anything else that can be described as a digital video input device, head to config.toml, and in the [Input] section, set the newly added cameraId setting to the ID of your chosen input. This is a list of indexes starting from zero, so if you only have one device, set this to 0.
