[media] DocBook: document DVB net API 

The DVB network API was not documented. There are just some
placeholders there.

Replace it by a proper documentation.

<title>DVB Network API</title>
<para>The DVB net device enables feeding of MPE (multi protocol encapsulation) packets
received via DVB into the Linux network protocol stack, e.g. for internet via satellite
applications. It can be accessed through <emphasis role="bold">/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0</emphasis>. Data types and
and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including <emphasis role="bold">linux/dvb/net.h</emphasis> in your
application.

<para>The DVB net device controls the mapping of data packages that are

<para>In order to create the Linux virtual network interfaces, an application
needs to tell to the Kernel what are the PIDs and the encapsulation types
that are present on the transport stream. This is done through
