v4l2videoenc: Demote rank below software implementations

Robert Mader requested to merge rmader/gstreamer:issue1631 into main

GstVideoEncoder does not yet support falling back to the next encoder if GST_STATE_CHANGE_NULL_TO_READY fails. As v4l2videoenc, more precisely v4l2jpegenc is selected but fails on a range of (upstream) drivers, it effectively breaks apps like Cheese on affected devices.

Until the fallback path is more robust, lets demote the rank below that used by e.g. jpegenc, allowing us to unbreak things for users in a backportable way.

Closes #1631 (closed)
