Originally, when DVB was introduced, all codecs would be part of
MPEG2 standard. That's not true anymore, as there are a large
number of codec standards used on digital TV nowadays.

The usage of the term "DVB" at the dvb API docs is confusing,
as, right now, it can refer to either the European digital TV
standard or to the subsystem.
So, prefer calling it as "Digital TV" on most places, to avoid
ambiguity.

Both CA and decoders are optional. Also, the presence or
absence has nothing to do on being a PCI card or not.
Nowadays, most hardware leaves the decoders to either the
GPU or to some ISP inside the SoC, instead of implementing
it inside the Digital TV part of the device.
So, change the wording to reflect the hardware changes.

Convergence doesn't exist anymore. The community itself maintains
the spec. Update accordingly.

The references there are only for DVB. Add missing references for
ATSC and ISDB standards.

On several places at the introduction, a digital TV board and its
kernel support is called as DVB. The reason is simple: by the
time the document was written, there were no other digital TV
standards :-)
Modernize the specs by referring to them as Digital TV.

The device numbering for DVB uses "M" and "N" as vars for the
number of the device, but sometimes this is printed using normal
font instead of verbatim.
While here, remove an extra space after quotation marks.
This is a minor cleanup with no changes at the text.

Now that we have an extension to handle images, use it.

The PDF files that contain media images were actually generated
offline from their SVG or PNG source files.
Sphinx can handle PNG sources automatially. So, let's just
drop their PDF counterparts.
For SVG, however, Sphinx doesn't produce the right tags to
use the TexLive SVG support. Also, the SVG support is done via
shell execution, with is not nice.
So, while we don't have any support for SVG inside Sphinx
core or as an extension, move the logic to build them to Makefile,
producing the PDF images on runtime.
NOTE: due to the way Sphinx works, the PDF images should be
generated inside the Kernel source tree, as otherwise Sphinx
won't find it, not obeying what's specified by "O=" makefile
parameter.

SVG images are nicer, as they can easily be scaled. Also, they're
written in text, with makes easier to work.

The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.
No functional changes.
