VIDIOC_REMOVE_BUFS ioctl allows to remove buffers from a queue.
The number of buffers to remove in given by count field of
struct v4l2_remove_buffers and the range start at the index
specified in the same structure.

Add new ioctls to set and get subdev client capabilities. Client in this
context means the userspace application which opens the subdev device
node. The client capabilities are stored in the file handle of the
opened subdev device node, and the client must set the capabilities for
each opened subdev.
For now we only add a single flag, V4L2_SUBDEV_CLIENT_CAP_STREAMS, which
indicates that the client is streams-aware.
The reason for needing such a flag is as follows:
Many structs passed via ioctls, e.g. struct v4l2_subdev_format, contain
reserved fields (usually a single array field). These reserved fields
can be used to extend the ioctl. The userspace is required to zero the
reserved fields.
We recently added a new 'stream' field to many of these structs, and the
space for the field was taken from these reserved arrays. The assumption
was that these new 'stream' fields are always initialized to zero if the
userspace does not use them. This was a mistake, as, as mentioned above,
the userspace is required to zero the _reserved_ fields. In other words,
there is no requirement to zero this new stream field, and if the
userspace doesn't use the field (which is the case for all userspace
applications at the moment), the field may contain random data.
This shows that the way the reserved fields are defined in v4l2 is, in
my opinion, somewhat broken, but there is nothing to do about that.
To fix this issue we need a way for the userspace to tell the kernel
that the userspace has indeed set the 'stream' field, and it's fine for
the kernel to access it. This is achieved with the new ioctl, which the
userspace should usually use right after opening the subdev device node.

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.
