Mauro Carvalho Chehab 54f38fcae5 media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
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.

Part II - Digital TV API
########################
.. note::
This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**.
It it was originally written to support the European digital TV
standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards.
In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to
it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**.
The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for:
- the Digital TV API version
(e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5);
- digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc);
- digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``);
- the European DVB standard.
**Version 5.10**
