[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory. Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>To query the attributes of an entity, applications set the id field
+ of a &media-entity-desc; structure and call the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES
+ ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The driver fills the rest of the
+ structure or returns an &EINVAL; when the id is invalid.</para>
+ <para>Entities can be enumerated by or'ing the id with the
+ <constant>MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT</constant> flag. The driver will return
+ information about the entity with the smallest id strictly larger than the
+ requested one ('next entity'), or the &EINVAL; if there is none.</para>
+ <para>Entity IDs can be non-contiguous. Applications must
+ <emphasis>not</emphasis> try to enumerate entities by calling
+ MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES with increasing id's until they get an error.</para>
+ <para>Two or more entities that share a common non-zero
+ <structfield>group_id</structfield> value are considered as logically
+ grouped. Groups are used to report
