Currently, for any multi-standard frontend it is assumed that it just
has a single standard capability. This is fine in some cases, but
makes things hard when there are incompatible standards in conjuction.
Eg: DVB-S can be seen as a subset of DVB-S2, but the same doesn't hold
the same for DSS. This is not specific to any driver as it is, but a
generic issue. This was handled correctly in the multiproto tree,
while such functionality is missing from the v5 API update.

Later on a FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION was added as a hack to workaround this
issue in the v5 API, but that hack is incapable of addressing the
issue, as it can be used to simply distinguish between DVB-S and
DVB-S2 alone, or another X vs X2 modulation. If there are more systems,
then you have a potential issue.
An application needs to query the device capabilities before requesting
any operation from the device.

This patch increments the DVB-API to version 5.1 in order to reflect the addition of ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb on Linux' DVB-API.
Changes in detail:
- added a small document to describe how to use the API to tune to an ISDB-T or ISDB-Tsb channel
- added necessary fields to dtv_frontend_cache
- added a smarter clear-cache function which resets all fields of the dtv_frontend_cache
- added a TRANSMISSION_MODE_4K to fe_transmit_mode_t

The cx23415 adds some extra features that this DVB decoding API did
not support. This API has been expanded to support the required
features. Both source and binary backwards compatibility is kept
intact by these changes. So existing applications are not affected.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
