V4L/DVB: Deprecate cpia driver (used for parallel port webcams)

cpia driver were re-written inside gspca driver, for USB devices. The only
functionality that were not migrated is the support for parallel port,
as:
	1) the developer didn't find any hardware;
	2) it doesn't  seem important to keep support for a parallel port webcam,
	   as this is an obsolete technology;
	3) the changes at gspca for it to work with parallel port would be very large;
	4) this driver still uses BKL.

So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody
cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver
that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.

+Why:    There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
+        to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
+        didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer
+        could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today,
+        and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version
+        of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.37 and, if nobody
+        care enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.38.
