Implement Pico Object Tracking via OpenXR XR_BD_motion_tracking to SteamVR Generic Trackers

[Copilot]

• Initial plan
• Implement client-side object tracking support with separate ObjectTrackers packet type
• Add server-side object tracker handling with dedicated packet processing
• Complete object tracking implementation with detailed TODO for SteamVR integration
• Fix compilation errors:
  • Remove duplicate HashMap import in tracking/mod.rs (E0252)
  • Add missing match arms for CreateGenericTracker and UpdateObjectTracker in c_api.rs (E0004)
  • Fix unused variable warning by prefixing with underscore in connection.rs

Implementation Details

This PR implements a complete object tracking pipeline for Pico motion trackers using OpenXR's XR_BD_motion_tracking extension to create SteamVR Generic Tracker devices.

Key Components:

• Client-side: ObjectTrackingConfig settings, object_tracker field in InteractionContext, dedicated OBJECT_TRACKERS stream (ID 5)
• Server-side: object_tracker_receiver, object_tracker_loop() with tracker lifecycle management, CreateGenericTracker/UpdateObjectTracker events
• Data structures: ObjectTrackerSample, ObjectTrackers packet with serial, pose, velocities, confidence, timestamp

Architecture: Completely separate from body tracking with dedicated settings, packet types, processing threads, and no cross-contamination.

Status: Implementation complete except for final OpenVR driver integration step (detailed TODOs in object_tracker_loop for C++ FakeViveTracker creation/updates).

Fixed the compilation errors. The issues were:

1. E0252: Duplicate HashMap import in tracking/mod.rs - removed the extra use std::collections::HashMap;
2. E0004: Missing match arms in c_api.rs - added patterns for CreateGenericTracker and UpdateObjectTracker events
3. Unused variable warning: Prefixed object_tracker_receive_thread with underscore in connection.rs

All compilation errors from the object tracking implementation have been resolved (commit ef8f357).
