Instead of using bufferCount as the number of V4L2 buffer slots to
reserve in the vimc and uvcvideo pipeline handlers, use a reasonably
high constant: 16. Overallocating isn't a problem as buffer slots are
cheap. Having too few, on the other hand, could degrade performance. It
is expected that this number will be more than enough for most, if not
all, use cases.

This makes way for removing bufferCount.
