If V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS is set, then the new device_caps field is filled with
the capabilities of the opened device node.
The capabilities field traditionally contains the capabilities of the physical
device, being a superset of all capabilities available at the several device
nodes. E.g., if you open /dev/video0, then if it contains VBI caps then that means
that there is a corresponding vbi node as well. And the capabilities field of
both the video and vbi nodes should contain identical caps.
However, it would be very useful to also have a capabilities field that contains
just the caps for the currently open device, hence the new CAP bit and field.

Add a new VOLATILE control flag that is set for volatile controls.
That way applications know whether the value of the control is volatile
(i.e. can change continuously) or not.
Until now this was an internal property, but it is useful to know in
userspace as well.
A typical use case is the gain value when autogain is on. In that case the
hardware will continuously adjust the gain based various environmental
factors.
This patch just adds and documents the flag, it's not yet used.

Currently, -EINVAL is used to return either when an IOCTL is not
implemented, or if the ioctl was not implemented.

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>
