Mauro Carvalho Chehab cf8076c314 [media] docs-rst: Convert DVB uAPI to use C function references
Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that
are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index,
as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there.

While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated
ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest
of the media book.

Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation.

****************
ioctl NET_GET_IF
****************
Name
====
NET_GET_IF - Read the configuration data of an interface created via - :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`.
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, NET_GET_IF, struct dvb_net_if *net_if )
:name: NET_GET_IF
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.
``net_if``
pointer to struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`
Description
===========
The NET_GET_IF ioctl uses the interface number given by the struct
:ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`::ifnum field and fills the content of
struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>` with the packet ID and
encapsulation type used on such interface. If the interface was not
created yet with :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`, it will return -1 and fill
the ``errno`` with ``EINVAL`` error code.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
