[media] DocBook: Move struct dmx_demux kABI doc to demux.h
The DocBook/media/dvb/kdapi.xml contains the description of the kABI for DVB. The problem is that, by being maintained on a separate file and not being updated for years, it got outdated. So, for example, some callback parameters were changed, but the DocBook were still using the old stuff. As a first step to fix it, let's move the documentation of struct dmx_demux into demux.h and fix the parameters used there. For now, don't document any other field nor touch the descriptions that got moved, letting this job to other patches. That makes easier to review the patch. PS.: Please notice that an additional patch will be needed in order to fix the return values (some uses non-existent return codes) and to the functions and callbacks mentioned at the descriptions.

- align="char">
-<para>This function runs a descrambling algorithm on the payload of a DVB
- Datagram Section, replacing the original payload with its un-encrypted
- version. The function will be called from the demux API implementation;
- the API client need not call this function directly. Section-level scrambling
- algorithms are currently standardized only for DVB-RCC (return channel
- over 2-directional cable TV network) systems. For all other DVB networks,
- encryption schemes are likely to be proprietary to each data broadcaster. Thus,
- it is expected that this function pointer will have the value of NULL (i.e.,
- function not available) in most demux API implementations. Nevertheless, it
- should be possible to use the function pointer as a hook for dynamically adding
- a &#8220;plug-in&#8221; descrambling facility to a demux driver.</para>
