v4l2codecs: Replace VIDIOC_REQBUFS calls by VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS

Use VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS ioctl to create buffers instead of VIDIOC_REQBUFS
because it allows to create buffers also while streaming.
To prepare the introduction of VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFFERS create
the buffers one per one instead of a range of them. This way
it can, in the futur, fill the holes.
gst_v4l2_decoder_request_buffers() is stil used to remove all
the buffers of the queue.
