[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
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> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

- <para><function>write()</function> writes up to
-<parameter>count</parameter> bytes to the device referenced by the
-file descriptor <parameter>fd</parameter> from the buffer starting at
-<parameter>buf</parameter>. When the hardware outputs are not active
-yet, this function enables them. When <parameter>count</parameter> is
-zero, <function>write()</function> returns
-<returnvalue>0</returnvalue> without any other effect.</para>
-
- <para>When the application does not provide more data in time, the
-previous video frame, raw VBI image, sliced VPS or WSS data is
-displayed again. Sliced Teletext or Closed Caption data is not
-repeated, the driver inserts a blank line instead.</para>

- <title>Return Value</title>
-
- <para>On success, the number of bytes written are returned. Zero
-indicates nothing was written. On error, <returnvalue>-1</returnvalue>
-is returned, and the <varname>errno</varname> variable is set
-appropriately. In this case the next write will start at the beginning
-of a new frame. Possible error codes are:</para>
