Mauro Carvalho Chehab 059b1c5b15 media: docs: use the new SPDX header for GFDL-1.1 on *.rst files
SPDX v3.10 gained support for GFDL-1.1 with no invariant sections:

	https://spdx.org/licenses/GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later.html

So, remove the license text, replacing them by this new SPDX
license.

Tomasz Figa 9ec656cf57 media: docs-rst: Document memory-to-memory video encoder interface
Due to complexity of the video encoding process, the V4L2 drivers of
stateful encoder hardware require specific sequences of V4L2 API calls
to be followed. These include capability enumeration, initialization,
encoding, encode parameters change, drain and reset.

Specifics of the above have been discussed during Media Workshops at
LinuxCon Europe 2012 in Barcelona and then later Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2014 in Düsseldorf. The de facto Codec API that
originated at those events was later implemented by the drivers we already
have merged in mainline, such as s5p-mfc or coda.

The only thing missing was the real specification included as a part of
Linux Media documentation. Fix it now and document the encoder part of
the Codec API.

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.
