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: vimc: Add support for contiguous DMA buffers

The vimc driver is used for testing purpose, and some test use cases
involve sharing buffers with a consumer device. Consumers often require
DMA contiguous memory, which vimc doesn't currently support. This leads
in the best case to usage of bounce buffers, which is very slow, and in
the worst case in a complete failure.

Add support for the dma-contig allocator in vimc to support those use
cases properly. The allocator is selected through a new "allocator"
module parameter, which defaults to vmalloc.

media: vimc: Add a control to display info on test image

Add a control in VIMC to display information such as the correct order of
colors for a given test pattern, counter, brightness, hue, saturation,
contrast, width and height at sensor over test image.

media: media/test_drivers: rename to test-drivers

We never use _ in directory names in the media subsystem, so
rename to test-drivers instead for consistency.

Also update MAINTAINERS with the new path.
