Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("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.

Documents the protocol that user-space should follow when
communicating with stateless video decoders.
The stateless video decoding API makes use of the new request and tags
APIs. While it has been implemented with the Cedrus driver so far, it
should probably still be considered staging for a short while.

Due to complexity of the video decoding process, the V4L2 drivers of
stateful decoder hardware require specific sequences of V4L2 API calls
to be followed. These include capability enumeration, initialization,
decoding, seek, pause, dynamic resolution change, drain and end of
stream.
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 decoder part of
the Codec API.

The "Codec Interface" chapter is poorly named since codecs are just one
use-case of the Memory-to-Memory Interface. Rename it and clean up the
text a bit.
