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.

# URL Actions
It is possible to pass the Advanced Camera Card one or more
[actions](../configuration/actions/README.md) from the URL (e.g. select a particular
camera, open the live view in expanded mode, etc).
### When actions are executed
The Advanced Camera Card will execute these actions in the following circumstances:
- On initial card load.
- On 'tab' change in a dashboard.
- When a `navigate` [action](https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/actions/)
is called on the dashboard (e.g. a button click requests navigation).
- When the user uses the `back` / `forward` browser buttons whilst viewing a
dashboard.
## Instructions
To send an action to _all_ Advanced Camera Cards on a dashboard:
```
[PATH_TO_YOUR_HA_DASHBOARD]?advanced-camera-card-action.[ACTION]=[VALUE]
```
To send an action to a specific named Advanced Camera Card:
```
[PATH_TO_YOUR_HA_DASHBOARD]?advanced-camera-card-action.[CARD_ID].[ACTION]=[VALUE]
```
?> For backwards compatibility, the card will also respond to `frigate-card-action` as a query-parameter with the same syntax.
| Parameter | Description |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ACTION` | One of the supported Advanced Camera Card custom actions. See below. |
| `CARD_ID` | When specified only cards that have a [`card_id`](../configuration/README.md) parameter will act. |
| `VALUE` | An optional value to use with the `camera_select` and `live_substream_select` actions. |
?> Both `.` and `:` may be used as the delimiter. If you use `:` some
browsers may require it be escaped to `%3A`.
!> If a dashboard has multiple Advanced Camera Cards on it, even if they are on
different 'tabs' within that dashboard, they will all respond to the actions
unless the action is targeted with a `CARD_ID` as shown above.
## Supported Actions
Only a subset of all [actions](../configuration/actions/README.md) are supported in URL form.
