media: docs: split uAPI info from fimc.rst

This file contains both driver develompent documentation and
userspace API.

Split on two, as they're usually read by different audiences.

The media device interface allows to configure the SoC for capturing image
data from the sensor through more than one FIMC instance (e.g. for simultaneous
viewfinder and still capture setup).
Reconfiguration is done by enabling/disabling media links created by the driver
during initialization. The internal device topology can be easily discovered
through media entity and links enumeration.

When we configure these devices through sub-device API at user space, the
configuration flow must be from left to right, and the video node is
configured as last one.
When we don't use sub-device user space API the whole configuration of all
devices belonging to the pipeline is done at the video node driver.
The sysfs entry allows to instruct the capture node driver not to configure
