Description

This tries to request the gimbal vendor and product name in order to
show the gimbals with a meaningful name, rather than "Gimbal 1-1".

When we have more than one gimbal manager in the system, it is not clear
which gimbal is which.

For example:
- Autopilot with internal gimbal (compid 1, gimbal device 1)
- External Mavlink gimbal manager (compid 154, gimbal device 1)

Previously, both of these gimbals would show as "Gimbal 1".

With this change, they show up as "Gimbal 1-1" and "Gimbal 154-1".
This tries to request the gimbal vendor and product name in order to
show the gimbals with a meaningful name, rather than "Gimbal 1-1".
