incus webcam passhtrough permission error

webcam:
    mode: "0777"
    path: /dev/video0
    required: "false"
    source: /dev/video0
    type: unix-char

the fix is to add 0777 as permission although this might be a security risk

also add required: false so that when camera isn’t plugged in, the container doesn’t fail to start.

there should be a better way to passthrough cam + mic. i’ll look for it next time
