Improve Focus Module in Ekos by adding autofocus support for DSLR's that use manualfocusdrive command by gphoto instead of rel_focus_position for example, Nikon Z6 according to documentation http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/.
Nikon DSLR: Manual focusing only works in the "liveview" aka "preview" mode (with mirror up). In "non preview" mode the focus motor is only controllable by the autofocus engine. --set-config manualfocusdrive=step size

This is great!! I hope it makes DSLR focusing much more accessible now in Ekos. Hopefully we get reports back from Canon users as well.
This is an awesome 2019 end year gift Piotr! :-)
