Adds the basic API bits for Software Digital Radio (SDR) at the V4L2 API. A normal radio device is actually radio and hardware demod. As the demod is in hardware, several things that are required for the demodulate the signal (IF, bandwidth, sample rate, RF/IF filters, etc) are internal to the device and aren't part of the API. SDR radio, on the other hand, requires that every control needed by the tuner to be exposed on userspace, as userspace needs to adjust the software decoder to match it. As proposed at: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/63123 Add a new device node for SDR devices, and a VIDIOC_QUERYCAP capability (V4L2_CAP_SDR) to indicate that a devnode is SDR. The stream output format also needs to be different, as it should output sample data, instead of video streams. As we need to document SDR, add one initial format there that will be later be used.
