Currently the uvcsink is only capable to run in an application
that is handling the state transitions of the pipeline properly
by checking on streaming event from the uvcsink.
This code is improving the element by adding an fakesink to
consume possible videostream flow in case the pipeline state
is not changing on hosts streamoff.
This is helpfull when using local gst-launch pipelines where
the streaming event is not monitored to change the pipelines
state.

This patch adds an element to stream video data to an uvc video gadget.
The element handles the uvc events STREAMON, STREAMOFF, SETUP and DATA.
to start, stop and configure the video buffer flow by the use of pad
probes. It works with linux kernels of versions higher than v6.1.
The element makes use of the v4l2sink proxy property v4l2sink::device
to locate the corresponding device to parse the configfs for additional
data.
The code in uvc.c is basically derived from /lib/uvc.c in
https://git.ideasonboard.org/uvc-gadget.git.
