cap_qtkit does not work when the capture is run outside of the main
thread.
If the capture is launched in a separate thread, then [NSRunLoop
currentRunLoop] is not the same as in the main thread, and has no timer.

"If no input sources or timers are attached to the run loop, this
method exits immediately"

Using usleep() (which I previously proposed, and was reverted) is not a
good alternative, because it may block the GUI.

Here is the new proposed solution:
- create a dummy timer so that runUntilDate does not exit immediately
- simplify the loop by using runUntilDate instead of runMode:beforeDate
- fix potential memory leaks (pointed out by Xcode's static analysis)
- fix init to follow Objective-C guidelines
- fax warnings about conversions from size_t to int
