[RFC PATCH 1/8] media: add request API core and UAPI

[Alexandre Courbot]

The request API provides a way to group buffers and device parameters
into units of work to be queued and executed. This patch introduces the
UAPI and core framework.

This patch is based on the previous work by Laurent Pinchart. The core
has changed considerably, but the UAPI is mostly untouched.
