[media] DocBook media: Clarify V4L2_FIELD_ANY for drivers
Documentation for enum v4l2_field did not make it clear that V4L2_FIELD_ANY
is only acceptable as input to the kernel, not as a response from the
driver.
Make it clear, to stop userspace developers like me assuming it can be
returned by the driver.
