REVISION SUMMARY
  Currently, meridian flips are controlled by the capture module. This has the limitation, that meridian flips
  can only be issued if capturing is running. If the mount is tracking a position without capturing running,
  no meridian flip will take place.
  
  With this proposal, the mount controls meridian flips. As soon as the meridian flip limit is reached,
  it requests a meridian flip from the capture module. In case that a frame capturing is running, the
  meridian flip is delayed until the frame has been captured.
  
  If capturing is running, the meridian flip is started immediately.
  
  WARNING: This change has not beed intensively tested yet, feedback and testing appreciated.

TEST PLAN
  1. Test without capturing
    - Slew to a position east, but close to the meridian.
    - Select the meridian flip checkbox on the Mount tab.
    - Expected result: meridian flip executed as soon as the position crosses the meridian.
  
  2. Test with capturing
    - Create a imaging sequence with meridian flip enabled.
    - Slew to a position east, but close to the meridian.
    - Wait, until the position crosses the meridian.
    - Start the imaging sequence.
    - Expected result: meridian flip executed.
