V4L/DVB (12761): DocBook: add media API specs

The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now,
no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook.

This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium.

+    <para>The <constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> ioctl provides
+meta data about a compressed video stream the same or another
+application currently reads from the driver, which is useful for
+random access into the stream without decoding it.</para>
+
+    <para>To read the data applications must call
+<constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> with a pointer to a
+&v4l2-enc-idx;. On success the driver fills the
+<structfield>entry</structfield> array, stores the number of elements
+written in the <structfield>entries</structfield> field, and
+initializes the <structfield>entries_cap</structfield> field.</para>
+
+    <para>Each element of the <structfield>entry</structfield> array
+contains meta data about one picture. A
+<constant>VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX</constant> call reads up to
+<constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant> entries from a driver
+buffer, which can hold up to <structfield>entries_cap</structfield>
+entries. This number can be lower or higher than
+<constant>V4L2_ENC_IDX_ENTRIES</constant>, but not zero. When the
+application fails to read the meta data in time the oldest entries
+will be lost. When the buffer is empty or no capturing/encoding is in
+progress, <structfield>entries</structfield> will be zero.</para>
+
+    <para>Currently this ioctl is only defined for MPEG-2 program
+streams and video elementary streams.</para>
