V4L/DVB: V4L2: add a generic function to find the nearest discrete format to the required one

Many video drivers implement a fixed set of frame formats and thus face a task
of finding the best match for a user-requested format. Implementing this in a
generic function has also an advantage, that different drivers with similar
supported format sets will select the same format for the user, which improves
consistency across drivers.
