Allow improve_contrast to be toggled via mqtt (#3011)

* Toggle improve_contrast for cameras via MQTT

* Process parameter to mqtt toggle improve_contrast

* Update mqtt docs for improve_contrast topic

* Spacing

* Add class variable and update in process_frames

* Pass to constructor

* pass by reference mistake

* remove parameter

* remove parameter
