Add extra DBus functions for Siril_EAA extension

Ed Lee requested to merge luckyeddie/k-stars-wip:hooks_for_siril_eaa into master

Must be merged after !1221 (merged)

Adds the following:

  • capturepreviewwidget can now display fits files passed in from an external source or (as default) receive frames from the capture module. Two DBus accessible functions are provided: one to switch between these modes, and a second to pass the filepath to capturepreviewwidget for display.
  • Two additional DBus accessible read functions: one to get the current preview filename (eg. what is displayed as a tooltip on hover over the placeholder format textbox), and a second to get the current text entry of the placeholder format textbox.

These are used by the Siril_EAA extension to:

  • Test that there are no dynamically changing placeholder tags in the file format, such that the capture filepath is a known constant.
  • Obtain the capture filepath directory.
  • Switch the capturepreviewwidget to display from external source.
  • Pass livestacked images to the capturepreview widget for display.
  • On exit of the extension the capturepreviewwidget is switched by to display captured frames.
