[PATCH] dvb: Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cards

Browse Source 
- Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cards. We must differentiate
  the bt8xx based "Lite" cards from the cx2388x based "Gold" cards.

- Provide location of CARDLIST.bttv Documentation, rather than
  instructing users to look at bttv.h

- Include card decimal id numbers. These are valid for module arguments,
  and might be easier for some people to remember, rather than hex.
