gstreamer: add jpeg plugins

[ikalnytskyi]

Description

Add jpeg and jpegformat to the GStreamer common plugins list. MJPEG support in GStreamer is not limited to just these two plugins, but these are the native GStreamer plugins that provide the core JPEG parsing and codec support we were missing in bundled builds.

Many IP cameras support MJPEG in addition to H264/H265, so it makes sense to support it out of the box.

Stable_V5.0 bundled the whole GStreamer plugin directory, but master ships only allowlisted plugins since 5066dc0.
