When receiving H264 or MJPEG video streams from UVC devices in bulk mode under Linux, OBS would frequently stop displaying video due to decoding error. This patch modifies the behavior to skip corrupted frames instead of terminating rhe capture thread, allowing plackback to continue normally.

Description
This patch modifies the Linux v4l2-input plugin to improve the handling of H264 and MJPEG bulk mode streams. When encountering decoding errors, instead of terminating the capture thread, OBS will now skip the corrupted frame and continue capturing.
Motivation and Context
Receiving H264 or MJPEG video streams from UVC devices in bulk mode under Linux would frequently cause OBS to stop displaying video due to decoding errors. Skipping corrupted frames improves playback stability without needing to restart the capture.
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested with multiple UVC devices outputting H264 and MJPEG over bulk mode under Ubuntu 22.04. Confirmed that when corrupted frames occur, OBS logs the error but continues playback without interruption. Regular (non-bulk) streams and other input formats remain unaffected.
