Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee38 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").
As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.
Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

While making the menu invisible seemed a good idea, there's

Right now, there are I2C drivers that don't depend on

The media subsystem has hundreds of driver-specific options.
The *_SUPPORT config options work as a sort of filter,

There are lots of drivers that only work when the media controller
and/or the V4L2 subdev APIs are present.
Right now, someone need to first enable those APIs before
using those drivers.
Well, ideally, drivers, should, instead *optionally*
depend on it, in order for PC camera drivers to be able to use
them, but nowadays most drivers are UVC cameras, with don't
require a sensor driver.
So, be it.
Let's instead make them select the MEDIA_CONTROLLER and the
SUBDEV API, in order to make easier for people to be able
of enabling them.

All modern Linux distributions nowadays use udev or some

There are some long-time mistakes related to build test
drivers, with regards to depends on/select. Also, as we
now want to build any test driver without needing to
enable anything else, change the logic in order to properly
filter them.
Please notice that the PCI skeleton is somewhat an
exception, as it requires to select *both* SAMPLES and
MEDIA_TEST_SUPPORT. I almost changed it to be either one,
but decided to keep it as-is, as this is something that
we don't really need to be included on any distribution.
The only reason for someone to build it is for COMPILE_TEST
purposes.

Right now, if one has an hybrid TV card, it has to select
both analog and digital TV support, as otherwise the needed
core support won't be selected.
Change the logic to auto-select the core support for those
drivers, as this is a way more intuitive.
It should be noticed that, as now both DVB_CORE and VIDEO_DEV
defaults depends on selecting a hybrid cards, we had to remove
the explicit dependencies there, in order to avoid circular
dependencies.
That requires some tricks:
1) the prompt should not be not visible when an hybrid card
is selected, as the user shold not change it.
2) When a media hybrid device is selected, the modular
option for DVB_CORE and VIDEO_DEV will follow the
MEDIA_SUPPORT dependency, as we can't have a core
built with "y" with a driver built as module.
Note: while here, moved two pure V4L2 PCI drivers out of the
"hybrid" part of config and consider pvrusb2 as an hybrid
device.

When the first test device was added (vivi.c), there were just
one file. I was too lazy on that time to create a separate
directory just for it, so I kept it together with platform.
Now, we have vivid, vicodec, vim2m and vimc. Also, a new
virtual driver has been prepared to support DVB API.
So, it is time to solve this mess, by placing test stuff
on a separate directory.
It should be noticed that we also have some skeleton drivers
(for V4L and for DVB). For now, we'll keep them separate,
as they're not really test drivers, but instead, just
examples. The DVB frontend ones will likely be part of a new DVB
test driver. By that time, it should make sense to move them
here as well.
