Stop using Video4Linux version 1

Goal description

?Video4Linux version 1 (?V4L1) was obsoleted in the kernel by version 2 (?V4L2) some years ago and newer video capture drivers do not support ?V4L2. Applications should all be using ?V4L2. There is a library (libv4l) that can aid in converting applications that were written for ?V4L1. Fedora has patched a number of applications to use this.

See Fedora's better webcam support goal.
