[media] media-device.h: Improve documentation and update it

Now that we moved the content of the media-framework.txt into
the kerneldoc documentation, move the per-function specific
documentation to the corresponding functions and clean it up.

It would be good if we had already the markdown kernel-doc
patches merged upstream, but, while we doesn't have it,
let's make it less ugly at device-drivers.xml.

*
* When a link is enabled or disabled, the media framework calls the

* link_setup call is made on the first entity to restore the original link
* flags.
*
* Media device drivers can be notified of link setup operations by setting the
* media_device::link_notify pointer to a callback function. If provided, the
* notification callback will be called before enabling and after disabling
* links.
*
* Entity drivers must implement the link_setup operation if any of their links
* is non-immutable. The operation must either configure the hardware or store
* the configuration information to be applied later.
*
* Link configuration must not have any side effect on other links. If an
* enabled link at a sink pad prevents another link at the same pad from
* being enabled, the link_setup operation must return -EBUSY and can't
* implicitly disable the first enabled link.
*
* NOTE: the valid values of the flags for the link is the same as described
