[media] V4L2: Add per-device-node capabilities

If V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS is set, then the new device_caps field is filled with
the capabilities of the opened device node.

The capabilities field traditionally contains the capabilities of the physical
device, being a superset of all capabilities available at the several device
nodes. E.g., if you open /dev/video0, then if it contains VBI caps then that means
that there is a corresponding vbi node as well. And the capabilities field of
both the video and vbi nodes should contain identical caps.

However, it would be very useful to also have a capabilities field that contains
just the caps for the currently open device, hence the new CAP bit and field.

multiple devices in /dev (e.g. /dev/videoX, /dev/vbiY and /dev/radioZ).
The <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field should contain a union
of all capabilities available around the several V4L2 devices exported
to userspace.
For all those devices the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field
returns the same set of capabilities. This allows applications to open
just one of the devices (typically the video device) and discover whether
video, vbi and/or radio are also supported.
