RPi GS camera support

[Viper-Gtr]

Hi,
i had a spare RPi GS camera laying around so i thougt why not trying these bigger pixels.
But the GS responds to libcamera-hello, but a clean installation fails with:

* RPi camera found.

* Setting up WebUI options and default settings for RPi cameras.
* Making new settings file '/home/pi/allsky/config/settings.json'.

*** ERROR:
**********
No camera detected - installation aborted.
**********

If i ran $ libcamera-still --list-cameras

I can´t find that it´s not supported or sometinhe else about the GS camera / IMX296. Perhabs its not supported yet.
Its currently the newest install i think: Allsky Installer - v2023.05.01_04.

Closing this discussion - it's a dup of Issue # 3632.
I can add support for the camera, but it's limited to 15 second exposures so is basically useless as an allsky camera, so unless someone REALLY wants it supported, I won't add it.

Oh i didn´t realized that. Thanks for the hint.
I thought it was in the requirements because its a offical RPi Camera and it´s "compatible".

HD Cam is ordered. Now its waiting time ;-)
