Run a Manta at its frame-rate limit, and wait for a DHT11's first reading
A free-running Manta runs at AcquisitionFrameRateAbs, not at its limit:
rietschen's RGB camera came set to 0.955 fps and delivered 5 frames in 5.2 s.
The gige recipe now writes a short fixed exposure and then the rate, clamped
to the camera's maximum (4.7 fps at 60 MB/s), before auto-exposure goes back
on. The export summary shows the rate set, not the limit, which had read
4.71 fps for a camera running at 0.96.

test hardware env asked for a DHT11 reading at once, but the firmware reads
it every 10 s, the first time 2 s after it starts. install-tower --verify
failed on rietschen 1.4 s into its run, 36 s after the same test had passed.
It now waits one read period for the first reading. Tests 542/542 (mock).
