    try to find RAW format directly produced by webcam.
    
      /* The webcams can get unstable if we permanently turn them on and off.
       * On other side we need it to find best possible format for our pipe line.
       * Video filter need RGB, video encoders YUV/I420. Jpeg can work with RGB too.
       * Currently there is no right solution, so we will try to get
       * native format prioduced by webcam and try to do the best with it.
       * v4l2src use rank system in wich native camera formats go on first
       * plase. Most embeded cams support only one raw format (mostly YUY2),
       * Most external cams support YUY2 and JPEG, and some expensive cams
       * support all this and H264. Almost none of them support two different
       * RAW formats, exept some logitech with hidden bayer stream.
       * This is why we take first RAW format (with higest rank) and use it
       * by default.
