Release 1.0 work (mostly ready)

Changelog:

* Reworked 3rd person camera algorithm (completely rewritten)
* 3rd person camera rotation doesn't get affected by suspension bounciness
* Look around/aim/shoot has been reimplemented and now supports gamepad as well as keyboard
* Progressive deadzone implemented when looking with gamepad, for better aim precision
* Look left/right quickly by pressing hotkeys (configurable via ini file)
* Support to look left/right/back from steering wheel!
	Requires an AppVeyor build of Manual Transmission Mod by @ikt (link below):
	https://ci.appveyor.com/project/E66666666/gtavmanualtransmission/build/artifacts

* Other minor fixes and improvements

Release soon

 * Enter on any vehicle (except boat, helis and planes) and custom camera will be automatically enabled
 * Look around, aim and shoot just like with the built-in camera.
 * Switch between 3rd and 1st person view by pressing V (or other key mapped to switch views)
+* Look left by pressing B, look right by pressing N
 * Look behind by pressing C (or other key mapped to look behind)
 * Toggle mod enabled by pressing 1.
 * Reload ini settings by pressing F10.
+
+* Lots of settings are configurable (check CustomCameraVPlus.ini)
