media: stkwebcam: deprecate driver, move to staging

This is a very old driver for very old hardware and it is one of
the very few remaining that does not use the vb2 framework (or
even the older videobuf framework), so deprecate this driver
and move it to staging with the intent to removing it altogether
by the end of 2022.

If someone wants to keep this driver, then it has to be converted
to use vb2.

drivers/staging/media/stkwebcam/TODO

+This is a very old driver for very old hardware (specifically
+laptops that use this sensor). In addition according to reports
+the picture quality is quite bad.
+
+This is also one of the few drivers still not using the vb2
+framework (or even the old videobuf framework!), so this driver
+is now deprecated with the intent of removing it altogether by
+the end of 2022.
+
+In order to keep this driver it has to be converted to vb2.
+If someone is interested in doing this work, then contact the
+linux-media mailinglist (https://linuxtv.org/lists.php).
