Upgrade Guide for Anyline 8.1.0

We have completed a major update to the Anyline classes in version 43 (Anyline .NET SDK v2.0.0). If you are coming from a previous Anyline version, it is important to go over some of the more significant changes in this page. For more detailed information about the classes, please head over to the specific documentation for the Android and iOS SDKs.

1	`camera` is now called `cameraConfig` (see 7.)
2	`flash` is now called `flashConfig` (see 8.)
3	`viewPlugin` is now called `viewPluginConfig` (see 9.)
4	`plugin` is now called `pluginConfig` and does not include a plugin anymore, instead it includes the XXXconfig (in this case `meterConfig`)
5	`scanFeedback` is now called `scanFeedbackConfig` (see 11.)
6	`cancelOnResult` is not part of the viewPlugin anymore, instead it is part of the `pluginConfig` (see 10.)
