[PATCH v4l-utils v1] v4l2-tracer: fix trace path name creation

[Peter Seiderer]

Fix trace path name creation for poor man's development boards
(e.g. Raspberry Pi) without RTC (starting at unix epoche aka time 0)
by forcing initial trace_id creation with 6 valid digits.

Fixes:

  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
    what():  basic_string::substr: __pos (which is 5) > this->size() (which is 3)
  Aborted

Thanks for this patch, I checked and the file names are still working as
expected for traced, retraced and cleaned files, so looks good to me.
