feat: Add console logging support for Frame Processors (#297)
* Try to log to console via runOnJS

* Call `console.log`

* Create custom `VisionCameraScheduler`

* Fix scheduler call

* Call with this

* Fix console setting

* Move J---- to `java-bindings`

* c++ style

* Android: 1/2 Create custom Scheduler

* Android: 2/2 Use custom Scheduler

* Don't use `runOnJS`, use `__callAsync` directly

## Expose your Frame Processor Plugin to JS
To make the Frame Processor Plugin available to the Frame Processor Worklet Runtime, create the following wrapper function in JS/TS:
```ts
import type { Frame } from 'react-native-vision-camera';
/**
* Scans QR codes.
*/
export function scanQRCodes(frame: Frame): string[] {
'worklet';
return __scanQRCodes(frame);
}
```
Users will then have to add the Frame Processor Plugin's name to their `babel.config.js`.
For the QR Code Scanner, this will be `__scanQRCodes`:
```js {6}
module.exports = {
plugins: [
[
'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
{
globals: ['__scanQRCodes'],
},
],
```
:::note
You have to restart metro-bundler for changes in the `babel.config.js` file to take effect.
:::
## Test it!
Simply call the wrapper Worklet in your Frame Processor:
```tsx {4}
function App() {
const frameProcessor = useFrameProcessor((frame) => {
'worklet'
const qrCodes = scanQRCodes(frame)
console.log(`QR Codes in Frame: ${qrCodes}`)
}, [])
return (
<Camera frameProcessor={frameProcessor} {...cameraProps} />
)
}
```
## Next Steps
If you want to distribute your Frame Processor Plugin, simply use npm.
1. Create a blank Native Module using [bob](https://github.com/callstack/react-native-builder-bob) or [create-react-native-module](https://github.com/brodybits/create-react-native-module)
2. Name it `vision-camera-plugin-xxxxx` where `xxxxx` is the name of your plugin
3. Remove the generated template code from the Example Native Module
4. Add VisionCamera to `peerDependencies`: `"react-native-vision-camera": ">= 2"`
5. Implement the Frame Processor Plugin in the iOS, Android and JS/TS Codebase using the guides above
6. Add installation instructions to the `README.md` to let users know they have to add your frame processor in the `babel.config.js` configuration.
7. Publish the plugin to npm. Users will only have to install the plugin using `npm i vision-camera-plugin-xxxxx` and add it to their `babel.config.js` file.
8. [Add the plugin to the **official VisionCamera plugin list**](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/edit/main/docs/docs/guides/FRAME_PROCESSOR_PLUGIN_LIST.mdx) for more visibility
