Mauro Carvalho Chehab 883dfe8ae6 media: dvb uAPI docs: minor editorial changes
Do minor editorial changes to improve documentation readability:

- mark literals as such;
- add table markups to hint sizes;
- define what PES means;
- instead of hardcoding devnode numbers to zero (like adapter0/) use a
  question mark, to indicate that multiple devnodes may exist;
- add cross-references where useful.

***************************************
Querying frontend status and statistics
***************************************
Once :ref:`FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>` is called, the
frontend will run a kernel thread that will periodically check for the
tuner lock status and provide statistics about the quality of the
signal.
The information about the frontend tuner locking status can be queried
using :ref:`FE_READ_STATUS`.
Signal statistics are provided via
:ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY`.
.. note::
Most statistics require the demodulator to be fully locked
(e. g. with :c:type:`FE_HAS_LOCK <fe_status>` bit set). See
:ref:`Frontend statistics indicators <frontend-stat-properties>` for
more details.
