The sequence number of captured frames is logged to the console with
padding to 6 characters to increase readability. The output is however
incorrect, as 123 is printed as 00012300000. This is caused by the
auto-space feature of QDebug, which inserts a space after every field.
This doesn't play well with stream format manipulation, as it ends up
padding the automatically inserted space the same way as the previous
argument.
This is a bug in Qt, work around it by formatting the sequence number
manually.

If the frame buffer format is identical to the display format, the
viewfinder still invokes the converter to perform what is essentially a
slow memcpy(). Make it possible to skip that operation by creating a
QImage referencing the buffer memory instead. A reference to the frame
buffer is kept internally, and released when the next buffer is queued,
pushing the current one out.

The viewfinder is currently expected to render frames to the screen
synchronously in the display() function, or at least to copy data so
that the buffer can be queued in a new request when the function
returns. This prevents optimisations when the capture format is
identical to the display format.
Make the viewfinder take ownership of the buffer, and notify of its
release through a signal. The release is currently still synchronous,
this will be addressed in a subsequent patch.
Rename the ViewFinder::display() function to render() to better describe
its purpose, as it's meant to start the rendering and not display the
frame synchronously.
