media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

+Image Source Control Reference
+******************************
+
+The Image Source control class is intended for low-level control of
+image source devices such as image sensors. The devices feature an
+analogue to digital converter and a bus transmitter to transmit the
+image data out of the device.

+Image Source Control IDs
+========================
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS (class)``
+ The IMAGE_SOURCE class descriptor.
+
+``V4L2_CID_VBLANK (integer)``
+ Vertical blanking. The idle period after every frame during which no
+ image data is produced. The unit of vertical blanking is a line.
+ Every line has length of the image width plus horizontal blanking at
+ the pixel rate defined by ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` control in the
+ same sub-device.
+
+``V4L2_CID_HBLANK (integer)``
+ Horizontal blanking. The idle period after every line of image data
+ during which no image data is produced. The unit of horizontal
+ blanking is pixels.
+
+``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN (integer)``
+ Analogue gain is gain affecting all colour components in the pixel
+ matrix. The gain operation is performed in the analogue domain
+ before A/D conversion.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_RED (integer)``
+ Test pattern red colour component.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENR (integer)``
+ Test pattern green (next to red) colour component.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_BLUE (integer)``
+ Test pattern blue colour component.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENB (integer)``
+ Test pattern green (next to blue) colour component.
+
+``V4L2_CID_UNIT_CELL_SIZE (struct)``
+ This control returns the unit cell size in nanometers. The struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_area` provides the width and the height in separate
+ fields to take into consideration asymmetric pixels.
+ This control does not take into consideration any possible hardware
+ binning.
+ The unit cell consists of the whole area of the pixel, sensitive and
+ non-sensitive.
+ This control is required for automatic calibration of sensors/cameras.
