[media] Feature removal: using capture and output capabilities for m2m devices

Identifying a memory-to-memory video device through an ORed output and
capture capability flags is not reliable. Schedule this for removal.

What: Using V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE and V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT flags
to indicate a V4L2 memory-to-memory device capability
When: 3.8
Why: New drivers should use new V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M capability flag
to indicate a V4L2 video memory-to-memory (M2M) device and
applications can now identify a M2M video device by checking
for V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M, with VIDIOC_QUERYCAP ioctl. Using ORed
V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE and V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT flags for M2M
devices is ambiguous and may lead, for example, to identifying
a M2M device as a video capture or output device.
