[media] v4l: Add subdev selections documentation

Add documentation for V4L2 subdev selection API. This changes also
experimental V4L2 subdev API so that scaling now works through selection API
only.

<title>Experimental</title>
<para>This is an <link linkend="experimental">experimental</link>
interface and may change in the future.</para>
</note>
<para>The selections are used to configure various image
processing functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the
image size. This currently includes cropping, scaling and
composition.</para>
<para>The selection API replaces <link
linkend="vidioc-subdev-g-crop">the old subdev crop API</link>. All
the function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the
selections API.</para>
<para>See <xref linkend="subdev"></xref> for
more information on how each selection target affects the image
processing pipeline inside the subdevice.</para>
<section>
<title>Types of selection targets</title>
<para>There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds.
The ACTUAL targets are the targets which configure the hardware.
The BOUNDS target will return a rectangle that contain all
possible ACTUAL rectangles.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Discovering supported features</title>
<para>To discover which targets are supported, the user can
perform <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION</constant> on them.
Any unsupported target will return
<constant>EINVAL</constant>.</para>
