Mauro Carvalho Chehab 60c2820d0f doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.

No functional changes.

Programming a V4L2 device consists of these steps:
- Opening the device
- Changing device properties, selecting a video and audio input, video
standard, picture brightness a. o.
- Negotiating a data format
- Negotiating an input/output method
- The actual input/output loop
- Closing the device
In practice most steps are optional and can be executed out of order. It
depends on the V4L2 device type, you can read about the details in
:ref:`devices`. In this chapter we will discuss the basic concepts
applicable to all devices.
