Add Support to use Kinect as webcam on linux
Just found an old Kinectv2 lying around and wanted to use it as webcam as it has decent camera. Searched a lot (I mean a lot) and found nothing.

The C++ code captures RGB video frames from a Kinect device using libfreenect2 and writes them to a virtual webcam device (/dev/video10) with the help of opencv created by v4l2loopback.
