Hello,

This small patch series improves performances in qcam when the captured
format matches one of the formats natively supported by the viewfinder.
It allows skipping conversion and using zero-copy in that case.

The series includes a few miscellaneous drive-by fixes and improvements
that are documented in individual patches from 01/21 to 12/21. From
13/21 onwards the viewfinder code is refactored, and patch 19/21 adds
zero-copy support. Patch 20/21 fixes an isse where the last buffer isn't
released when stopping capture (it could be squashed with 19/21, but I
decided to submit it separately for now to ease review).

Patch 21/21 finally adds support for more native RGB formats in the
viewfinder, and in particular for DRM_FORMAT_BGR888 that the VIMC
pipeline handler defaults to. BGR888 however requires Qt 5.14, which
isn't widely shipped by distros, so it's disabled if the Qt version is
too old.
