Changes originally mistakenly applied to ACP-1212. This was a Scheduler issue.

Check-in comment Fix #nopreview option so that the time-consuming construction of the preview image in AcquireSupport.TakePicture() is skipped if #nopreview is specified. GEM:1212

REOPENED

5 seconds between Image Finished and Plate Solve... This is the code that makes the previewImage. This is not needed if #nopreview is specified in the Description field, but it was not being suppressed when #nopreview was specifed.

Check-in comment Support for defocusing and ACP Plan importing of #defocus. ACP Plan importing of #nopreview. GEM:1285 GEM:1047

REOPENED - Generalize this by adding the ability to import ACP Plans with #nopreview. Add the member to the ACP Plan wrapper and to the ACP importing logic. POSS mode still forces it.

Also, ACP 8 will install the fixed "no preview" images into WebRoot so remove that from the pre-release installer here.

REOPENED. While doing ACP-1212 I saw that TakePicture is being called with previewImage set to make an image, yet later the preview image is being erased and made again or replaced with the "no preview" one.

Check-in comment Add #nopreview to all POSS Plan imports, unconditonally. GEM:1285

For now, I think I'll make this another #xxx option, and also set this for all POSS mode imported plans.

This maybe should be an ACP per-user option? Ideally it would be per Plan in both ACP and Scheduler, as you would only want to disable it for high-cadence work.
