Rework the documentation to make it easier for the reader to understand
the differences in behavior of this ioctl between MC and non-MC drivers.
Note the addition of the 'video-node-centric' and 'MC-centric' terms to
help understand what the IO_MC capability really means.
Also mention in the beginning that mbus_code is one of the fields that
application should initialize, and add META_OUTPUT as one of the types that
this ioctl supports (that was never added here when the META_OUTPUT buffer
type was added).
Finally document that EINVAL will be returned if mbus_code is unsupported.

The VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT ioctl enumerates all formats supported by a video
node. For MC-centric devices, its behaviour has always been ill-defined,
with drivers implementing one of the following behaviours:
- No support for VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT at all
- Enumerating all formats supported by the video node, regardless of the
configuration of the pipeline
- Enumerating formats supported by the video node for the active
configuration of the connected subdevice
The first behaviour is obviously useless for applications. The second
behaviour provides the most information, but doesn't offer a way to find
what formats are compatible with a given pipeline configuration. The
third behaviour fixes that, but with the drawback that applications
can't enumerate all supported formats anymore, and have to modify the
active configuration of the pipeline to enumerate formats.
The situation is messy as none of the implemented behaviours are ideal,
and userspace can't predict what will happen as the behaviour is
driver-specific.
To fix this, let's extend the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT with a missing capability:
enumerating pixel formats for a given media bus code. The media bus code
is passed through the v4l2_fmtdesc structure in a new mbus_code field
(repurposed from the reserved fields). With this capability in place,
applications can enumerate pixel formats for a given media bus code
without modifying the active configuration of the device.
The current behaviour of the ioctl is preserved when the new mbus_code
field is set to 0, ensuring compatibility with existing userspace. The
API extension is documented as mandatory for MC-centric devices (as
advertised through the V4L2_CAP_IO_MC capability), allowing applications
and compliance tools to easily determine the availability of the
VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT extension.

Add a video device capability flag to indicate that its inputs and/or
outputs are controlled by the Media Controller instead of the V4L2 API.
When this flag is set, ioctl for enum inputs and outputs are
automatically enabled and programmed to call a helper function.

The vivi.c driver has long gone, but v4l2-videobuf.rst still
refers to it. Just drop that reference since it is no longer valid
or relevant (videobuf is deprecated).
The QUERYCAP documentation also made a reference to is, but there
vivi could just be replaced by vivid, the vivi successor.

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.
