doc-rst: linux_tv: reformat all syscall pages The syscall pages are written to be used also as man-pages. However, they don't match the format used by kernel-doc generated pages from DocBook. Rewrite them to match it. One side effect is that now all such pages at the book will have the same format, reducing the format differences between DVB and the other parts of the book.

[media] docs-rst: Convert DVB uAPI to use C function references Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index, as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there. While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest of the media book. Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
