Add support for two new (un)prepare_streaming queue ops that are called
when the user calls VIDIOC_STREAMON and STREAMOFF (or closes the fh).

This gives drivers a callback to validate the video pipeline and claim
or release streaming resources at the time that userspace indicates
that it wants to start streaming (VIDIOC_STREAMON) rather than when
the actual DMA engine kicks in (the start_streaming callback). This
is relevant for drivers that needs a minimum of X buffers before the
DMA can start. The actual pipeline validation needs to happen sooner
to avoid unnecessary errors at VIDIOC_QBUF time.

As a bonus this allows us to move the horrible call to
v4l_vb2q_enable_media_source() in vb2_core_streamon() to the au0828
driver (currently the only driver that uses this feature).

That call never belonged in vb2, but it had the same purpose as the
new prepare_streaming op: validate the pipeline.

This is a follow-up from my previous RFCv2:

https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/ba4bca14-488f-94ea-48d9-e7343103c5aa@xs4all.nl/

I would like to get consensus for this series.

Regards,

	Hans
