Write SAL Script to test ComCam guider mode.

Description

This task is to write an external script to test the guider mode on ComCam.

Support for guider mode was part of https://rubinobs.atlassian.net/browse/DM-39830, which was mostly done but not conclude. So, in order to run the script at the summit we will need to either close this ticket out or cherry-pick these commits into the run branch.

To operate the guider detectors, we need to call camera.init_guiders which receives a ROISpec object with the ROI definition.

The procedure is as follows:

from lsst.ts.observatory.control.utils.roi_spec import ROI, ROICommon, ROISpec

# defines a ROI

roi = ROI(
    segment=3,
    start_row=260,
    start_col=162,
)

# defines the guider exposure parameters

roi_common = ROICommon(
    rows=100,
    cols=100,
    integration_time_millis=200,
)

# defines ROISpec

roi_spec = ROISpec(
    common=roi_common,
    roi=dict(R00SW0=roi),
)

# initialize guiders
await camera.init_guider(roi_spec=roi_spec)

# now, when we take an exposure, the guiders will also operate.
await camera.take_engtest(
    n=1,
    exptime=30,
)

The script should receive all the ROI Spec information as configuration parameter and should receive and exposure time. Then, take an engtest image with that setting.
