Add a new flag that indicates that this control is a dynamically sized
array. Also document this flag.
Currently dynamically sized arrays are limited to one dimensional arrays,
but that might change in the future if there is a need for it.
The initial use-case of dynamic arrays are stateless codecs. A frame
can be divided in many slices, so you want to provide an array containing
slice information for each slice. Typically the number of slices is small,
but the standard allow for hundreds or thousands of slices. Dynamic arrays
are a good solution since sizing the array for the worst case would waste
substantial amounts of memory.

The Hantro and Cedrus drivers work in frame-mode,
meaning they expect all the slices in a picture (either frame
or field structure) to be passed in each OUTPUT buffer.
These two are the only V4L2 MPEG-2 stateless decoders currently
supported. Given the VA-API drivers also work per-frame,
coalescing all the MPEG-2 slices in a buffer before the decoding
operation, it makes sense to not expect slice-mode drivers and
therefore remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS.
This is done to avoid carrying an unused interface. If needed,
this control can be added without breaking backwards compatibility.
Note that this would mean introducing a enumerator control to
specify the decoding mode (see V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE).

Typically, bitstreams are composed of a sequence header,
followed by a number of picture header and picture coding extension
headers. Each picture can be composed of a number of slices.
Let's split the MPEG-2 uAPI to follow these semantics more closely,
allowing more usage flexibility. Having these controls split up
allows applications to set a sequence control at the beginning
of a sequence, and then set a picture control for each frame.
While here add padding fields where needed, and document
the uAPI header thoroughly.
Note that the V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_{} defines had to be moved because
it clashes with existing ones. This is not really an issue
since they will be re-defined when the controls are moved
out of staging.

Until now, the VP8 V4L2 API was not exported as a public API,
and only defined in a private media header (media/vp8-ctrls.h).
The reason for this was a concern about the API not complete
and ready to support VP8 decoding hardware accelerators.
After reviewing the VP8 specification in detail, and now
that the API is able to support Cedrus and Hantro G1,
we can consider this ready.

For video capture it is the driver that reports the colorspace,
transfer function, Y'CbCr/HSV encoding and quantization range
used by the video, and there is no way to request something
different, even though many HDTV receivers have some sort of
colorspace conversion capabilities.
For output video this feature already exists since the application
specifies this information for the video format it will send out, and
the transmitter will enable any available CSC if a format conversion has
to be performed in order to match the capabilities of the sink.
For video capture we propose adding new v4l2_pix_format flag:
V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC. The flag is set by the application,
the driver will interpret the colorspace, xfer_func, ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc
and quantization fields as the requested colorspace information and will
attempt to do the conversion it supports.
Drivers set the flags
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_COLORSPACE,
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_XFER_FUNC,
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_YCBCR_ENC/V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_HSV_ENC,
V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_QUANTIZATION,
in the flags field of the struct v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration to
indicate that they support colorspace conversion for the respective field.
Drivers do not have to actually look at the flags. If the flags are not
set, then the fields 'colorspace', 'xfer_func', 'ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc',
and 'quantization' are set to the default values by the core, i.e. just
pass on the received format without conversion.

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
