I don't think it matters too much to also have the alias video4linux2, or at 
least I can't think of any good reasons to remove it.

One reason for this trivial patch was so the v4l2 in/out-devs can be listed on 
one line in "ffmpeg -devices" or "ffmpeg -formats" like (all?) the others. One 
user reported that he was unaware of the outdev because he only saw the indev 
listed (possibly looking only for video4linux2).
