Reduce the minimum amount of CAPTURE and OUTPUT buffers to 1.

There are drivers that may work with such drastic settings,
and FFmpeg doesn't complain.

makes sense to me if that is indeed the case.
could you provide a real life use case?

The AMLogic meson V4L2 M2M I'm developping (https://github.com/Elyotna/linux)
can fare with only one OUTPUT buffer for data input.

Granted, only 1 CAPTURE buffer is probably not going to cut it, but still,
I don't see the reason behind restricting the FFmpeg user to try with 1 (in
the end the driver will adjust the min/max buffers anyway).
