Mauro Carvalho Chehab cf8076c314 [media] docs-rst: Convert DVB uAPI to use C function references
Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that
are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index,
as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there.

While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated
ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest
of the media book.

Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation.

Description
-----------
This ioctl is obsolete. Do not use in new drivers. For V4L2 decoders
this ioctl has been replaced by the
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD <VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD>` ioctl.
This ioctl tries a decoder command. The ``video_command`` struct is a
subset of the ``v4l2_decoder_cmd`` struct, so refer to the
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD <VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD>` documentation
for more information.
Return Value
------------
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
