• vusb and sample-afl now able to fuzz all USB cameras (even if slow)

all:

• Various crashes fixed that were found during AFL fuzzing the USB drivers

• The camlibs for cameras (and driver) older than 15 years have been default disabled for installation, to speed up libgphoto2 startup and also reduce attack surface against malicious USB devices.

  See OUTDATED.txt in git for notes.

  You can reenable them using:

    ./configure --with-camlibs=all,outdated
  

  or by the camlib driver name (sample: jd11):

    ./configure --with-camlibs=all,jd11
  

  To get the lists of all camera libraries use:

    ./configure --help
  

  If you still have an old camera using one of these camlibs in active use, please report this to the devteam so we can reenable it per default.
