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.

The request API documentation introduced a new section which should have
been a subsection. Fix this.

If requests are used when they shouldn't, or not used when they should,
then return EBADR (Invalid request descriptor) instead of EACCES.
The reason for this change is that EACCES has more to do with permissions
(not being the owner of the resource), but in this case the request file
descriptor is just wrong for the current mode of the device.
Update the documentation accordingly.

The "Codec Interface" chapter is poorly named since codecs are just one
use-case of the Memory-to-Memory Interface. Rename it and clean up the
text a bit.

Those files are meant to be dual GPL 2.0 and GFDL without
implicit sections. However, by a wrong cut-and-paste, I ended
by applying a GPL 2+ license text to it, while still using the
GPL 2.0 SPDX tag, with would cause an ambiguity about the
licensing model.
Solve this by explicitly mentioning that the dual licensing
is between GPL 2.0 and GFDL and correcting the text.

Right now, it mentions two SPDX headers that don't exist inside the Kernel:
GFDL-1.1-or-later
And an exception:
no-invariant-sections
While it would be trivial to add the first one, there's no way,
currently, to distinguish, with SPDX, between a free and a non-free
document under GFDL.
Free documents with GFDL should not have invariant sections.
There's an open issue at SPDX tree waiting for it to be solved.
While we don't have this issue closed, let's just replace by a
free-text license, and add a TODO note to remind us to revisit it
later.

If requests are not supported by the driver, then return EACCES, not
EPERM.
If you attempt to mix queueing buffers directly and using requests,
then EBUSY is returned instead of EPERM: once a specific queueing mode
has been chosen the queue is 'busy' if you attempt the other mode
(i.e. direct queueing vs via a request).
