Replace VirtualCameraDevice with CustomVideoTrack and add custom video track support

Use CustomVideoSource/CustomVideoTrack for the default camera output instead of
VirtualCameraDevice, mirroring how audio already uses CustomAudioSource/CustomAudioTrack.
Add support for custom video destinations (register_video_destination, add/remove
custom video tracks, routing in write_video_frame) so multiple video tracks can be
published simultaneously.
