Add MJPEG camera server with systemd deployment

- camera/capture.py: V4L2 mmap-based MJPEG frame capture with background thread
- camera/mjpeg.py: MJPEG streaming server (multipart/x-mixed-replace) + minimal web UI
- camera/app.py: Entry point with argument parsing and signal handling
- pyproject.toml: uv project config (no external dependencies)
- camera-webui.service: systemd unit for native Pi deployment
- README.md: Updated for systemd-only direction with install instructions
