- Add optional tab completion support with argcomplete
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing test functionality
Usage examples:
python scripts/test_exposure_control.py # Show help
python scripts/test_exposure_control.py test # Run full test suite
python scripts/test_exposure_control.py get-exposure # Get current exposure
python scripts/test_exposure_control.py set-exposure 10 # Set exposure to 10ms
python scripts/test_exposure_control.py status # Get pipeline status
```
fix(launch-ids): fix videocrop element error and enhance startup output
- Fix GstAddError caused by duplicate pipeline.add(videocrop) call
The videocrop element was being added to the pipeline twice: once
explicitly when crop was enabled, and again in the element linking loop.
Removed the duplicate add operation.
- Enhance startup configuration display
Display all configured parameters at startup in a formatted summary:
* Camera config file path
* Exposure time (ms)
* Framerate (Hz)
* Crop settings (pixels or disabled)
* Queue buffer size (if configured)
* Video stream destination (UDP host:port)
* Control server port (or disabled status)
* Complete pipeline description
The output is now formatted with separators and aligned labels for
better readability, making it easier to verify settings at startup.

- Update idsueyesrc exposure property to use milliseconds (per gst-inspect)
- Fix default exposure value from 0.016 to 10ms
- Update validation range to 1.0-1000.0ms in control server

g_get_real_time() on Windows sometimes gives millisecond resolution.
Also grabbing framegrabber timestamp takes a non-insignificant amount of time,
so do it every second.
This also required changing how we read values, as FLIR uses little
endian. Timestamps are handled differently as well.
We're even more overdue for moving to properly parse the XML, just a
matter of if we'll use the GenApi reference implementation or something
else like Aravis.
