[media] v4l2-event: Add v4l2_subscribed_event_ops
Just like with ctrl events, drivers may want to get called back on
listener add / remove for other event types too. Rather then special
casing all of this in subscribe / unsubscribe event it is better to
use ops for this.

   The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
   is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
-  v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event. The last argument is the
-  size of the event queue for this event. If it is 0, then the framework
-  will fill in a default value (this depends on the event type).

+  The ops argument allows the driver to specify a number of callbacks:

+  * del:     called when a listener stops listening
+  * replace: replace event 'old' with event 'new'.

+  All 4 callbacks are optional, if you don't want to specify any callbacks
