The index of the recorded images is now padded with zeros to be at least 6 figures long. Improves the sorting in file explorers, and compatibility with image-processing software. Unlikely to be a breaking change.

As reported in #98, the name of the images saved by the
CameraBlock (via theImageSaverCameraProcess) is currently in the formatf'{index}_{time:.3f}.{ext}'. Example image names:1_0.100,2_0.200,21_2.100, etc. This poses problems for navigating in file explorers, or for compatibility with third -party processing software, as the first character in the name is used for sorting.This PR changes the name of the recorded images to
f'{index:06d}_{time:.3f}.{ext}', therefore adding a zero-padding as a prefix to the index to get at least 6 digits. The example names become000001_0.100,000002_0.200,000021_2.100, etc. This PR fixes the sorting issue with file explorers and third-party software when less than 1 millions images are acquired. It preserves compatibility with theFileReaderCamera without requiring changes in this file.
