Bug Description

Currently qtqr retrieve the list of available webcams by analyzing the contents of the "/dev/v4l/by-id" folder which doesn't provide any link for virtual webcams like those created with v4l2loopback or akvcam drivers.

It would be better to use the QtMultimedia library to detect available webcams because :
- this will improve portability
- this allow to handle virtual webcams.
