media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

+Common selection definitions
+============================
+
+While the :ref:`V4L2 selection API <selection-api>` and
+:ref:`V4L2 subdev selection APIs <v4l2-subdev-selections>` are very
+similar, there's one fundamental difference between the two. On
+sub-device API, the selection rectangle refers to the media bus format,
+and is bound to a sub-device's pad. On the V4L2 interface the selection
+rectangles refer to the in-memory pixel format.
+
+This section defines the common definitions of the selection interfaces
+on the two APIs.
