2023-03-21py: cam: Fix demosaic overflow issueTomi Valkeinen
The demosaic code first expands the buffer datatype to uint16, and then shifts the data left so that the 8, 10 and 12 bitspp formats all become 16 bitspp. It then, eventually, uses np.einsum to calculate averages, but this averaging sums multiple uint16 values together, and stores them in uint16 storage. As in the first step we shifted the values left, possibly getting values close to the maximum of uint16 range, we, of course, overflow when summing them together. This leads to rather bad looking images. Fix this by dropping the original shift. It serves no purpose, and is probably a remnant of some early testing code. This way the largest numbers we are summing together are 12 bit values, and as we use a 3x3 window from which we fetch values, for a single rgb plane, the max number of 12 bit values is 5 (for green). Sum of 5 12 bit values is well below the 16 bit maximum.

Move conversion functions from cam_qt.py to helpers.py to clean up the code and so that they can be used from other cam renderers.
