v4l2: Use SystemDevices properties to identify cameras

The CameraManager->get(dev_t) helper was implemented only to support the
V4L2 Adaptation layer, and has been deprecated now that a new camera
property - SystemDevices has been introduced.

Rework the implementation of getCameraIndex() to use the SystemDevices
property and remove reliance on the now deprecated call.
