Document the current state of the HEVC slice pixel format.
The format will need to evolve in the future, which is why it is
not part of the public API.

Document that the slice headers must be included for the benefit of
decoders that parse them (partially) in hardware, and that the start
code is optional. Add a link to the ITU-T Rec. H.264 specification
section that describes the slice format.

The existing documentation was incorrect and did not correspond
to how actual codec drivers implemented this.

Stateless decoders have different expectations about the
start code that is prepended on H264 slices. Add a
menu control to express the supported start code types
(including no start code).
Drivers are allowed to support only one start code type,
but they can support both too.
Note that this is independent of the H264 decoding mode,
which specifies the granularity of the decoding operations.
Either in frame-based or slice-based mode, this new control
will allow to define the start code expected on H264 slices.

Some stateless decoders don't support per-slice decoding granularity
(or at least not in a way that would make them efficient or easy to use).
Expose a menu to control the supported decoding modes. Drivers are
allowed to support only one decoding but they can support both too.
To fully specify the decoding operation, we need to introduce
a start_byte_offset, to indicate where slices start.

The V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE_RAW name was originally suggested
because the pixel format would represent H264 slices without any
start code.
However, as we will now introduce a start code menu control,
give the pixel format a more meaningful name, while it's
still early enough to do so.

Stateless video decoding engines require both the MPEG-2 slices and
associated metadata from the video stream in order to decode frames.
This introduces definitions for a new pixel format, describing buffers
with MPEG-2 slice data, as well as control structure sfor passing the
frame metadata to drivers.
This is based on work from both Florent Revest and Hugues Fruchet.

The codec source is generic and not vicodec specific. It can be used
by other drivers or userspace as well. So rename the source and header
to something more generic (codec-fwht.c/h) and prefix the defines, types

After the DocBook conversion a number of pixfmt description files just
had a number in the filename (pix-fmt-004, 006, etc) which was not very
descriptive.
Rename them.
Note that pixfmt-008.rst was folded into colorspaces-details.rst, so
that file is deleted. It's easier to maintain that way.
Also moved the colorspace sections to the end of the chapter. The old
order was weird: the "Standard Image Formats" section (an intro into
pixel formats) was followed by the colorspace sections instead of the
pixel format descriptions.
Moving it to the end resolved that issue.
