[media] DocBook: document DVB DMX_[ADD|REMOVE]_PID
Those ioctls were added back in 2009, at changeset 1cb662a3144 but were never documented. Fortunately, the original commit is good enough to serve as the basis for documenting it. Also, the support for it is done by dmxdev implementation. So, add a proper documentation for it, based on the description of the original changeset.
