Use the proper format for FE_SET_VOLTAGE documentation and fix
the documentation. The description for the enum is not 100%,
and it is missing the voltage off value.
Also, it is better to keep the enum description together with
the ioctl, as both are used together.

for the xml files describing ioctls, use the same nomenclature
as on V4L2: the ioctl name, in lower case, using - instead of _.

Keeping everything altogether makes harder to reorganize the

The DVB part of the docbook has a completely different format
than the V4L2 part, as it was written as a separate document.
As the V4L2 documentation is on better shape, and its format
allows adding more information, let's use it for FE_GET_INFO
and gradually update the non-legacy DVB ioctls using the new
format.

Although the recommended usage is the DVBv5 API calls, the
documentation doesn't make it clear about what's the recommended
calls and what's legacy.
So, move the legacy API bits to a separate xml, putting them into
a new section.
Please notice that more changes are needed, since some of the
bits there are cross-referenced elsewhere.

Currently, it is using 'role="tt"', but this is not defined at
the DocBook 4.5 spec. The net result is that no emphasis happens.
So, replace them to bold emphasis.

The DVBv3 statistics parameters are limited on several ways:
- It doesn't provide any way to indicate the used measure,
so userspace need to guess how to calculate/use it;
- Only a limited set of stats are supported;
- Can't be called in a way to require them to be filled
all at once (atomic reads from the hardware), with may
cause troubles on interpreting them on userspace;
- On some OFDM delivery systems, the carriers can be
independently modulated, having different properties.
Currently, there's no way to report per-layer stats.
To address the above issues, adding a new DVBv5-based stats API.
While here, correct inner code nomenclature on a few places.

Just like the V4L, MC and LIRC API's, point to the generic error
chapter for ioctl's. This will allow moving generic error codes
to just one place inside all media API's.
A latter patch will remove the generic errors from each specific
ioctl.

The old way of setting delivery system parameters were to use

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.
