libv4l: avoid try_fmt on UVC cams if possible

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

Avoid the use of try_fmt as much as possible on UVC cams, instead use the
results of the enum_framesizes ioctl. This is because:
1) try_fmt actually causes IO with UVC cams making apps which do lot of
   querying of device capabilities slow (cheese)
2) some buggy cams don't like getting lots of UVC video probes and crash
   when they do

Priority: normal
