New API - enable_ui.cgi

This command is used to activate the administration menu on vendor modified firmwares such as Comcast Xfinity, Cox Homelife and ADT Pulse.

/adm/enable_ui.cgi
Response: OK

Tested on iCamera2 using multiple vendor firmware versions.

Credit to Prayas Kulshrestha who used the firmware mod kit on an old RC8061 image. I noticed a screenshot on page 6 of his guide that included this file in adm directory listing, along with some other untested commands:

That's brilliant. Thanks James. I've added it to the main documentation.

Please note the UI activation is temporary and will reset each time the camera is power cycled.
