v2.9.0: Merge pull request #84 from scriptorron/implement-raw-mono

• added "RAW Mono" image format: a monochrome image calculated from raw Bayer image:
  has same size as the raw image but has 2 bit more depth, in contrast to that the ISP processed "Mono" image has 8 bit only

v2.8.1

fixed client-driver handshake for storing exposures remotely

Multiple cameras on same Pi

This release provides 5 binary names indi_pylibcamera, indi_pylibcamera2, indi_pylibcamera3, ... indi_pylibcamera5 to allow running of up to 5 driver instances with different cameras in parallel. For instance you can operate 2 HQ cameras to a Pi 5.

Please see README.md for details.
