Introduce GigE Vision Control Protocol (GVCP) protocol

[tigercosmos]

GigE Vision[1] is an interface standard introduced in 2006 for high-performance industrial cameras.

To support it, we will add a new layer beyond the UDP layer.

There are plenty of commands in GVCP, the first step would be:

• recognized UDP port 3956 as GVCP
• parse GVCP command header
• parse GVCP acknowledge header

Fully support of all commands and their response could be the next step.

@tigercosmos are you planning to work on it?

Yes, but I can expect this to be a big PR. I will complete it little by little.

@seladb according to my experience, full support may take about a few thousand lines of code. Do you agree that we separate it into several PRs? maybe 2 or 3.

@tigercosmos sure, we can start by basic support and add more later
