Proxmox VE supported and tested.

This release come with some new adjustments made to our Camera in order to fully support the Proxmox VE's.
It was a quite challenging troubleshooting but we are happy to confirm that the camera can be use also in VE environments.

Fix

• Issues #75 and #78 related to PROXMOX camera frizzing. It works much better on VE with 4GB Ram but also with the 2GB run we were able to run stably two vacuums (on our tests). Thanks @kodbuzz, @cdrfun and @N1c093 for them cooperation and comments.
• Issue #79 We tested the migration from v1.4.8 up to the newer 1.7.5 and confirmed the issue reported from @duffmiester that here we thanks for it, we also review the values and matched it to the last camera setup from scratch that of course was also tested before releasing this version.

What's new in this release.

• The camera attributes are now improved in order to follow the Home Assistant required standard.
  
• The logging improved too, removing the rooms data from the logs and also more clarity on them.
• There isn't anymore the error "cant't get calibration data" = until there are data from the vacuum in MQTT (the connector was slightly improved) the camera will startup regularly and output eventually that he vacuum isn't connected to MQTT on the status tesxt.
• The status text is improved in order to report also the battery status, thanks to the cool idea of @zecoj
  
• We could finally confirm the camera also with Rand256 after the switch to multi threading so green light to the Rand users.

We count to implement the automatic zoom of the cleaning area of the vacuums

Memory Shortage Check Review.

Fix:
Issue #78 reported by @cdrfun the memory shortage calculation (that was also review) did cause the camera to stop as per the level was set to Error, instead now it is set to Warning and also instead to count 12 arrays we are now counting the one necessary for the the next step only 2. This reduce the margin to the real need memory space.
I take also this occasion to tanks you all for your kind and rightly raised issues, this is helping us to fasten and make robust the code of this project. The patches released in this days are mainly addressing those issues, and we are trying to do our best to keep all in track also, the development of the V1.5.8 that soon should be out with some improvements (the round versions are fully tested).

Thanks once again for the cooperation and understanding.

Remodelling and Fixing Migration Issues

Fix:

• Migration issues from config entry 2.1 to 2.2 fixed thanks @Cellivar that reported this issue.
• Refactoring: Improving logs in general and also added docstrings on several modules.

Tested the migration from 1.4.8 to 1.5.7.4, no errors anymore, so #77 could be considered closed.

GC logging causing extreme performance hit for HA

Fix:

• Removed GC completely from camera.py reported issue #76 thanks @droans

GC causing slow down of rendering.

What is for:

Testing once again the v1.5.7.1 I found some improvement could be done, this version purpose is to fix #75 and #74
Rand236 users be informed that the camera is now threading the image creation, and unfortunately I couldn't test it on this firmware yet, please wait for v1.5.8 within next week.
