How can I write custom-camera-config in /data/modalai with the M0173 board?

I understand that I can edit /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf after selecting a camera configuration close to my custom set up, but I would prefer to run a custom config file instead.

@swickliff can you help with the config you are trying to achieve? we can review and see if it's possible first

@swickliff This is how the voxl-camera-server.conf file is generated, using these higher level config files (the following are the M0173 configs):

https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/tree/master/misc_files/usr/share/modalai/voxl-camera-server/standard_configs/platform_config_1?ref_type=heads

These files live on target a `/usr/share/modalai/voxl-camera-server/standard_configs/platform_config_1/`

You can add a new custom config here and then setup the voxl-camera-server config file by running `voxl-configure-cameras XX` where `XX` is the camera config number you've chosen
