media: Kconfig: cleanup VIDEO_DEV dependencies

media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

menu "Video4Linux options"
visible if VIDEO_DEV

source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

config VIDEO_V4L2
tristate
depends on (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV
select RATIONAL
select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
default (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

media: Kconfig: move DVB-specific options to dvb-core/Kconfig

In order to cleanup the main media Kconfig, move the DVB-core
specific options to dvb-core/Kconfig.

media: dvb-core: Kconfig: default to use dynamic minors

All modern Linux distributions nowadays use udev or some
alternative (like systemd). So, it makes sense to change
the default to use dynamic minors.

Please notice that this default doesn't enable any code.
It just changes the dvb-core behavior.

media: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

config FOO
bool

config FOO
bool
default n

With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.

media: dvb-core: allow users to enable DVB net ULE debug

This debug option is there for a long time, but it is only
enabled by editing the source code. Due to that, a breakage
inside its code was only noticed years after a change at
the ULE handling logic.

Make it a Kconfig parameter, as it makes easier for
advanced users to enable, and allow test if the compilation
won't be broken in the future.

[media] Raise adapter number limit

The current limit is too low for latest cards with 8+ tuners on a single slot.
IMHO, the most appropriate minimum default is 16.

[media] dvb_demux: convert an internal ifdef into a Kconfig option

There are some ifdefs inside the dvb_demux that are meant to
enable advanced debug capabilities, at the cost of being very
verbose.

Keeping those as internal ifdefs is a very bad idea, as it
doesn't make easy to check if the code there was broken by
some patch. So, let's add an explicit Kconfig option for it.
