[media] video.rst: a sensor is also considered to be a physical input
Add the line "Camera sensors are also considered to be a video input."

So clarify the documentation by explicitly mentioning sensors. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
