[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory. Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

+ <refpurpose>Formats with &frac12; horizontal and vertical
+chroma resolution. This format has two planes - one for luminance and one for
+chrominance. Chroma samples are interleaved. The difference to
+<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12</constant> is the memory layout. Pixels are
+grouped in macroblocks of 64x32 size. The order of macroblocks in memory is
+also not standard.

+
+ <para>This is the two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format where data
+is grouped into 64x32 macroblocks. The three components are separated into two
+sub-images or planes. The Y plane has one byte per pixel and pixels are grouped
+into 64x32 macroblocks. The CbCr plane has the same width, in bytes, as the Y
+plane (and the image), but is half as tall in pixels. The chroma plane is also
+grouped into 64x32 macroblocks.</para>
+ <para>Width of the buffer has to be aligned to the multiple of 128, and
+height alignment is 32. Every four adjactent buffers - two horizontally and two
+vertically are grouped together and are located in memory in Z or flipped Z
+order. </para>
+ <para>Layout of macroblocks in memory is presented in the following
+figure.</para>

+ The requirement that width is multiple of 128 is implemented because,
+the Z shape cannot be cut in half horizontally. In case the vertical resolution
+of macroblocks is odd then the last row of macroblocks is arranged in a linear
+order. </para>
+ <para>In case of chroma the layout is identical. Cb and Cr samples are
+interleaved. Height of the buffer is aligned to 32.
