Use GstPoll to wait for the fd of the video device to become readable before
trying to capture a frame. This speeds up stopping v4l2src a lot as it no
longer has to wait for the next frame, especially when capturing with low
framerates or when the video device just never generates a frame (which seems a
common issue for uvcvideo devices)
Fixes bug #563574.

* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c: (gst_v4l2src_query):
Properly set the maximum latency value, in the same way it is done in
v4lsrc.

Simplify fraction equality check, no need to use GValues for this.
Original commit message from CVS:

Add warning messages stating exactly why the latency query failed.
* sys/v4l2/v4l2src_calls.c: (gst_v4l2src_set_capture):
In some cases, the negotiated framerate might be the default one which
is already set internally. But we still need to mark it down in fps_n
and fps_d so that the latency query can happen properly.

Don't include the gstv4l2xoverlay.h header as the XOverlay support

installed. Fixes bug #533264.
Original commit message from CVS:
Always copy buffers by default (handle safer with bugged drivers) and added a property to make it possible to use mmap effectively (no copy if possible) when application wants to. Fixes: #480557.
Original commit message from CVS:
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c:
* sys/v4l2/v4l2src_calls.c:
When probing the formats and sizes a camera supports, make
sure the best ones (highest resolution, prefered format)
end up at the beginning of the probed caps and the less
desirable ones at the end. This is important because the
order within the caps matters for things like fixation and
negotiation, ie. what format is chosen in the end.
With recent kernels, the current probing code will end up
querying the supported sizes from lowest resolution to
highest resolution, adding them to the probed caps in that
order, resulting to v4l2src fixating to the lowest possible
resolution if downstream does not express a size preference.
Also make up a somewhat random ranking of prefered output
formats for the same reason. Fixes#485828.

* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c: (gst_v4l2_get_caps_info),
(gst_v4l2src_set_caps), (gst_v4l2src_get_mmap):
Restructure the setcaps function so that we can also compute the
expected GStreamer output size of the video frames.
Set frame_byte_size correctly so that read-based devices have a chance
of working correctly.
When grabbing a frame, discard frames that are not of the expected size.
Some cameras don't output the right framesize for the first buffer.
Try only a couple of times to get a valid frame, else error out.

(gst_v4l2_buffer_pool_destroy): Make the pool follow common
miniobject semantics, and be threadsafe.
(gst_v4l2src_queue_frame): Remove this function, as we just call
the ioctls directly in the two places where we queue buffers.
(gst_v4l2src_grab_frame): Return a flowreturn and fill the buffer
directly.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_init): Use the new buffer_pool_new function
to allocate the pool, which also preallocates the GstBuffers.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_start): Call buffer_pool_activate instead of
queueing the frames directly.
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.h (struct _GstV4l2BufferPool): Make this a
real MiniObject instead of rolling our own refcounting and
finalizing. Give it a lock.
(struct _GstV4l2Buffer): Remove one intermediary object, having
the buffers hold the struct v4l2_buffer directly.
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c (gst_v4l2src_set_caps): Pass the caps to
capture_init so that it can set them on the buffers that it will
create.
(gst_v4l2src_get_read): For better or for worse, include the
timestamping and offsetting code here; really we should be using
bufferalloc though.
(gst_v4l2src_get_mmap): Just make grab_frame return one of our
preallocated, mmap'd buffers.

some useless comments.
* sys/v4l2/v4l2src_calls.c (gst_v4l2src_capture_init): Don't queue
frames before calling STREAMON, that might leave them in a state
where they can't be dequeued if we go back to NULL without calling
STREAMON, according to the docs.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_start): Enqueue buffers here instead, right
before we call STREAMON.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_deinit): Remove crack to work around dequeue
failures. (For me this code hung.) The pool refcounting is still
crack; added a note to that effect.

that is what we configure.
