doc-rst: linux_tv: reformat all syscall pages

The syscall pages are written to be used also as man-pages.

However, they don't match the format used by kernel-doc
generated pages from DocBook. Rewrite them to match it.

One side effect is that now all such pages at the book
will have the same format, reducing the format differences
between DVB and the other parts of the book.

FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
******************************
Description

NAME
====
WARNING: This is a very obscure legacy command, used only at stv0299
driver. Should not be used on newer drivers.
It provides a non-standard method for selecting Diseqc voltage on the
frontend, for Dish Network legacy switches.
As support for this ioctl were added in 2004, this means that such
dishes were already legacy in 2004.

This ioctl selects which sub-stream is to be decoded if a program or
system stream is sent to the video device. If no audio stream type is
set the id has to be in [0xC0,0xDF] for MPEG sound, in [0x80,0x87] for
AC3 and in [0xA0,0xA7] for LPCM. More specifications may follow for
other stream types. If the stream type is set the id just specifies the
substream id of the audio stream and only the first 5 bits are
recognized.

parameters provided. A timeout may be defined stating number of seconds
to wait for a section to be loaded. A value of 0 means that no timeout
should be applied. Finally there is a flag field where it is possible to
state whether a section should be CRC-checked, whether the filter should
be a ”one-shot” filter, i.e. if the filtering operation should be
stopped after the first section is received, and whether the filtering
operation should be started immediately (without waiting for a
DMX_START ioctl call). If a filter was previously set-up, this filter
will be canceled, and the receive buffer will be flushed.

This system call opens a named video device (e.g.

NAME
----
When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The
significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not
affect the semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in
blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa)
using the F_SETFL command of the fcntl system call. This is a standard
system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one
user can open the Video Device in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to
open the device in this mode will fail, and an error-code will be
returned. If the Video Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the only
ioctl call that can be used is VIDEO_GET_STATUS. All other call will
return an error code.
