[media] vidioc-g-edid.xml: be explicit about zeroing the reserved array

The G/S_EDID documentation did not explicitly state that the reserved array
should be zeroed by the application.

Also add the missing VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G/S_EDID ioctl names to the header.

it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes
no sense for a transmitter.</para>
