PinePhone: get camera working in Phosh

According to #421 (closed), it's somewhat working in Plasma Mobile. Let's make it work in Phosh, too.

There is an open merge request !1442 (closed), but it doesn't work yet. Besides, it modifies the supported_pixformats in the kernel to pretend that only V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV and V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY exist, as well as hardcoding framesizes and frameintervals. These are things that should really be fixed in userspace applications instead.

(Maybe we can use the plasma mobile camera app in Phosh as workaround?)

changed milestone to %[device] PinePhone support

added help wanted label

added category::device label

The plasma camera app also won't solve this, all the camera apps so far are ultimately using gstreamer to get the camera data, and gstreamer doesn't know how to deal with v4l2-media-request.

postmarketos-ui-phosh ships with Martijn's megapixels nowadays, which makes the camera work :)
