Dermot Duffy cc376a8be1 feat: Rename the card to advanced-camera-card (#1873 )

Whilst the Frigate support in this card is the best among camera
engines, the name incorrectly suggests that Frigate is a requirement.
Instead, to broaden the appeal, change to more camera agnostic name.
This does not suggest any change in priority, role or support for
Frigate.

This change is likely to be bug prone, due to the size of the rename --
the code contains 1500+ references to "Frigate" most of which make sense
to rename, some which do not, all of which needed human assessment.

- Closes #1298


BREAKING CHANGE: References to `frigate-card` in all kinds of
configuration need to be updated to `advanced-camera-card`. An automated
config upgrade should take care of the majority of usecases (click `Edit
-> Upgrade -> Save`), though may not be perfect.

Advanced Installation

For most users, the installation instructions in the Getting Started section will install the card successfully. In some rarer situations, additional steps may need to be taken.

Manual resource management

For most users, HACS should automatically add the necessary resources. Should this auto-registration not work you will need to complete one additional step.

Lovelace in "Storage Mode" (default)

Navigate:

Three dots menu -> "Edit Dashboard" -> Three dots menu -> "Manage resources" -> "Add Resource"

URL: /hacsfiles/advanced-camera-card/advanced-camera-card.js
Resource type: JavaScript Module

Lovelace in "YAML mode" (rare)

You would seemode: yaml under lovelace: in your configuration.yaml if this applies to you.

Add the following to configuration.yaml:

lovelace:
  resources:
    - url: /hacsfiles/advanced-camera-card/advanced-camera-card.js
      type: module

Restart Home Assistant.

Manual installation

Download the advanced-camera-card.zip attachment of the desired release to a location accessible by Home Assistant. Note that the release will have a series of .js files (for HACS users) and a advanced-camera-card.zip for the convenience of manual installers.
Unzip the file and move the contents of the dist/ folder to any subfolder name you'd like, e.g. advanced-camera-card is used in the below example.
Add the location as a Lovelace resource via the UI, or via YAML configuration such as:

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
    - url: /local/advanced-camera-card/advanced-camera-card.js
      type: module

Unreleased versions

You can install any unreleased version of the card by leveraging the GitHub Actions artifacts that are generated on every revision. See a video walkthrough installing the latest revision of the release-4.1.0 branch.
