Camera2 API - Enable hardware acceleration

In the MAUI Android quickstart guide it is described what features and permissions the AndroidManifest XML should contain. Newer devices might use the new Camera2 API, therefore hardware acceleration must be enabled in the activity that renders the camera. Depending on the device, it might not be enough to add a android:hardwareAccelerated="true" property in the <application> tag in AndroidManifest.XML. So if the camera screen stays black, it’s necessary to set the hardware acceleration directly in C#.

[Activity(Label = "My Activity", HardwareAccelerated = true, ...)]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
	...
}
