Add camera started event

There should be an event with the camera preview size triggered when the camera is started.

This is convenient for adding frame analysing ability using this plugin.

Would like this also to easily detect a device coming from sleep or another app. Sometimes the camera gets disabled and there is no straight forward way to detect all of these cases as far as I know. Just having a way to check the camera's state would be a big deal.

I decided to create my own camera plugin based on Dynamsoft Camera Enhancer, which is convenient to use and works on all three platforms: https://github.com/tony-xlh/capacitor-plugin-camera-preview

Nice! I'll check it out when IOS and Android support is implemented ;)

You actually do not need such an event, you could just use await CameraPreview.start() and then you can be sure that the camera preview is ready. Works for me quite well this way.

This plugin also has a started (onPlayed) event: https://github.com/xulihang/capacitor-plugin-camera
