[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
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.

Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

+
+    <para>To enumerate pads and/or links for a given entity, applications set
+    the entity field of a &media-links-enum; structure and initialize the
+    &media-pad-desc; and &media-link-desc; structure arrays pointed by the
+    <structfield>pads</structfield> and <structfield>links</structfield> fields.
+    They then call the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS ioctl with a pointer to this
+    structure.</para>
+    <para>If the <structfield>pads</structfield> field is not NULL, the driver
+    fills the <structfield>pads</structfield> array with information about the
+    entity's pads. The array must have enough room to store all the entity's
+    pads. The number of pads can be retrieved with the &MEDIA-IOC-ENUM-ENTITIES;
+    ioctl.</para>
+    <para>If the <structfield>links</structfield> field is not NULL, the driver
+    fills the <structfield>links</structfield> array with information about the
+    entity's outbound links. The array must have enough room to store all the
+    entity's outbound links. The number of outbound links can be retrieved with
+    the &MEDIA-IOC-ENUM-ENTITIES; ioctl.</para>
+    <para>Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads
+    are returned during the enumeration process.</para>
