Documentation: media: gen-errors.rst: fix confusing ENOTTY description

The text is very, very old and predates /dev/mediaX devices, so the
reference to "media device" is today very confusing.

It also says that the ioctl is not supported by the driver, but a
driver may have multiple device nodes, some support a given ioctl,
and some don't.

Simplify the description: ENOTTY means that the ioctl is not supported
by the file descriptor.

media: docs: use the new SPDX header for GFDL-1.1 on *.rst files

SPDX v3.10 gained support for GFDL-1.1 with no invariant sections:

https://spdx.org/licenses/GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later.html

So, remove the license text, replacing them by this new SPDX
license.

media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media

Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").

As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.

Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.
