qcam: main_window: Replace start and stop actions with a toggle action

The main window toolbar contains a start button and a stop button. This
allows starting an already started camera (which is currently not
handled and results in an error) or stopping an already stopped camera.
Replace the two actions with a single start/stop toggle action,
preventing UI misuse and reducing confusion.
