doc-rst: Remove the media docbook
Now that all media documentation was converted to Sphinx, we should get rid of the old DocBook one, as we don't want people to submit patches against the old stuff.

- <para>These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) decoder.
-<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> sends a command to the
-decoder, <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant> can be used to
-try a command without actually executing it. To send a command applications
-must initialize all fields of a &v4l2-decoder-cmd; and call
-<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> or <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant>
-with a pointer to this structure.</para>
-
- <para>The <structfield>cmd</structfield> field must contain the
-command code. Some commands use the <structfield>flags</structfield> field for
-additional information.
-</para>
-
- <para>A <function>write</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; call sends an implicit
-START command to the decoder if it has not been started yet.
-</para>
-
- <para>A <function>close</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; call of a streaming
-file descriptor sends an implicit immediate STOP command to the decoder, and all
-buffered data is discarded.</para>
-
- <para>These ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support
-them. They were introduced in Linux 3.3.</para>

- <entry>Playback speed and direction. The playback speed is defined as
-<structfield>speed</structfield>/1000 of the normal speed. So 1000 is normal playback.
-Negative numbers denote reverse playback, so -1000 does reverse playback at normal
-speed. Speeds -1, 0 and 1 have special meanings: speed 0 is shorthand for 1000
-(normal playback). A speed of 1 steps just one frame forward, a speed of -1 steps
-just one frame back.

-if the decoder operates on full GOPs (<wordasword>Group Of Pictures</wordasword>).
-This is usually the case for reverse playback: the decoder needs full GOPs, which
-it can then play in reverse order. So to implement reverse playback the application
-must feed the decoder the last GOP in the video file, then the GOP before that, etc. etc.

- <entry>Start the decoder. When the decoder is already
-running or paused, this command will just change the playback speed.
-That means that calling <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_START</constant> when
-the decoder was paused will <emphasis>not</emphasis> resume the decoder.
-You have to explicitly call <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME</constant> for that.

- <entry>Stop the decoder. When the decoder is already stopped,
-this command does nothing. This command has two flags:
-if <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_TO_BLACK</constant> is set, then the decoder will
-set the picture to black after it stopped decoding. Otherwise the last image will
-repeat. mem2mem decoders will stop producing new frames altogether. They will send
-a <constant>V4L2_EVENT_EOS</constant> event when the last frame has been decoded
-and all frames are ready to be dequeued and will set the
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST</constant> buffer flag on the last buffer of the
-capture queue to indicate there will be no new buffers produced to dequeue. This
-buffer may be empty, indicated by the driver setting the
-<structfield>bytesused</structfield> field to 0. Once the
-<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST</constant> flag was set, the
-<link linkend="vidioc-qbuf">VIDIOC_DQBUF</link> ioctl will not block anymore,
-but return an &EPIPE;.
-If <constant>V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_IMMEDIATELY</constant> is set, then the decoder
-stops immediately (ignoring the <structfield>pts</structfield> value), otherwise it
-will keep decoding until timestamp >= pts or until the last of the pending data from

-decoder output to black when paused.
