media: docs: make V4L documents more compatible with Sphinx 3.1+
Sphinx 3.x broke support for the cdomain.py extension, as the c domain code was rewritten. Due to that, the c tags need to be re-written, in order to use the new c domain notation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
