Environment variables

• ARCOR2_CALIBRATION_URL=http://0.0.0.0:5014 - by default, the service listens on port 5014.
• ARCOR2_CALIBRATION_DEBUG=1 - switches logger to the DEBUG level.
• ARCOR2_CALIBRATION_MOCK=1 - the service will start in a mock (simulator) mode.
• ARCOR2_REST_API_DEBUG=1 - turns on Flask debugging (logs each endpoint call).

Changed

• Switched to Python 3.10, updated dependencies.

[0.8.0] - 2022-09-15
