Also includes a simple node to copy H264 packets from a video4linux camera.
Possible future work: add H264 encoder
Example usage

Requirements
Tested on ROS2 Foxy, Galactic and Humble.
Requires libavdevice, libavformat, libavcodec, libavutil, libswscale.
Here’s one way to satisfy these requirements:
sudo apt install libavdevice-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev
Note: rosdep won’t find keys for most of these libraries so package.xml declares
dependencies on ffmpeg and libavdevice-dev. Strictly speaking ffmpeg is not required.
