Provide the pass-through option of --queue-late to vsp-runner, to request
that yavta will queue frames after the stream has started.

As with 5/7, what is the use case for this ?

I'm sure it had a very good use case at the time.
Please ask 2 months ago Kieran ... Current Kieran has no idea :)

And then let me borrow your time machine - I have some good uses for it :D

I remember asking  you about this option in fact, but I can't remember
what I was testing specifically, or why I have added this here.

Maybe I was using it to investigate something ... It might perhaps be
useful to add a test which uses this to make sure the VSP1 is happy with
late queued frames?

At least part of this is handled internally in videobuf2 without being
exposed to the VSP1 driver. If the exposed part is considered to be
possibly problematic then I would indeed prefer to add a specific test
to cover this.
