Log message:
Changes to the DVB v4 API:
- remove DVB_VIDEO_STILLPICTURE completly, because it can be called unconditionally and seriously disturb the whole state tracking mechanisms. instead, open the video decoder r/w, set the input type to DVB_VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY and the format to DVB_VIDEO_STILL_xxx, then use write() to write raw data to the decoder. this is way more consistent
- follow the idea from the audio parts and remove all kind of video events here, too. apparently having a video status is sufficient. if you have events, you always have a queue, where old, stale events can pile up. we now provide only a status via the DVB_VIDEO_GET_STATUS ioctl. it's possible to unmask unwanted events and do a blocking ioctl on the fd. if you use poll(), then any change in the status will wakeup sleep

- follow stillpicture and video status changes in the dvb-core
- provide lots of dvb_video_status_xxx() convenience functions that drivers can call to update the global device status. these changes will be reported to the new "status layer"
