Support for symlinks in linux, e.g. /dev/custom-name, /dev/video[CHARACTERS] #172

Description

@alextnull

Sometimes the device ID may change if the device has been disconnected and reconnected, or if another device has been connected, or for some other reason.

This can be avoided by creating a static name using udev rules. FlashCap recognizes devices with names such as /dev/video[DIGITS], but does not recognize names such as /dev/custom-name or /dev/video[CHARACTERS].

Is it possible to add support for such names?
