…ct and photos are rotated (CommunityToolkit#2312)

* Fix bug CameraView on iOS: camera preview is not always rotated correct and photos are rotated

* Update src/CommunityToolkit.Maui.Camera/CameraManager.macios.cs

Co-authored-by: Shaun Lawrence <[email protected]>

* Removed the null forgiving operator ! and added null checks. Removed TODO comment.

* Add exception message to the OnMediaCaptureFailed call

* Use `static` on iOS Devices

* Assign field `previewView`, Use pattern matching on `AVMediaTypes.Video.GetConstant()` , remove iOS 11 and iOS 13 checks since `CommunityToolkit.Maui.Camera` only supports iOS 15+

* Initialize `previewView` first
