fix: Add support for YUV_420_888 Image format.

Casting the bytes to a type directly is not possible, thus allocating a new texture is necessary (and costly).

But on the bright side, we avoid the conversion inside the camera plugin [0].

There's still the open issue of cleaning up the texture. I'd appreciate some feedback on how to change the API accordingly. I don't think there's a way around that.

If you allow me, I will share with you the method I used to solve a similar problem. Maybe it can help:

import 'dart:io';
import 'dart:isolate';
import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'package:camera/camera.dart';
import 'package:image/image.dart' as imglib;

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class ImageUtils {
  static Future<imglib.Image?> convertToImage(CameraImage image) async {
    if (image.format.group == ImageFormatGroup.yuv420) {
      return convertYUV420toImageColor(image);
    } else {
      return imglib.Image.fromBytes(
        bytes: image.planes[0].bytes.buffer,
        width: image.width,
        height: image.height,
        order: imglib.ChannelOrder.bgra,
      );
    }
  }
