doc-rst: linux_tv: Error codes should be const

All error codes should be const. Most are, but there are
lots of places where we forgot to add <constant> at the DocBook.

Fix those via this small script:
	for i in $(git grep -lE "\s+E[A-Z]+\b" Documentation/linux_tv/); do perl -ne 's,([^\`])\b(E[A-Z]+)\b,\1``\2``,g; print $_' <$i >a && mv a $i; done

As there are false positives, we needed to merge only the changes
that make sense, skipping the c blocks and skipping things like
EDID, EN, ETS that were also converted by the above code.

To query the attributes of a control applications set the ``id`` field

It is possible to enumerate controls by calling ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL``
with successive ``id`` values starting from ``V4L2_CID_BASE`` up to and
exclusive ``V4L2_CID_LASTP1``. Drivers may return EINVAL if a control in
exclusive ``V4L2_CID_LASTP1``. Drivers may return ``EINVAL`` if a control in
this range is not supported. Further applications can enumerate private
controls, which are not defined in this specification, by starting at
``V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE`` and incrementing ``id`` until the driver
returns EINVAL.
