The Request API is currently used and specified as part of the
Memory-to-memory Stateless Video Decoder Interface [1].
This can now be considered as non-experimental and stable, given
the decoder API has been used by products since a couple years,
supported by several drivers and userspace frameworks,

When the request API got merged, only drivers at staging were
using it. As we wanted to be able to do future changes on it,
we added an artificial depends on STAGING_MEDIA.
Yet, request API is there for quite some time now, and
didn't suffer any API breakages during this time. So, drop
this.

The Request API isn't meant to be chosen by users,
but instead should be selected by drivers that want
to support it.
Hantro and Cedrus are already selecting the right options,
so only the test drivers need to be fixed.

Let's place the main API selections at the media/Kconfig file,
as this way we can better organize things.

There are lots of drivers that only work when the media controller
and/or the V4L2 subdev APIs are present.
Right now, someone need to first enable those APIs before
using those drivers.
Well, ideally, drivers, should, instead *optionally*
depend on it, in order for PC camera drivers to be able to use
them, but nowadays most drivers are UVC cameras, with don't
require a sensor driver.
So, be it.
Let's instead make them select the MEDIA_CONTROLLER and the
SUBDEV API, in order to make easier for people to be able
of enabling them.

Most of media Kconfig/Makefile files already has SPDX,
but there are a few ones still missing. Add it to them.

It is really weird that the media controller sources are all top-level
in drivers/media. It is a bit of a left-over from long ago when most
media sources were all at the top-level. At some point we reorganized
the directory structure, but the media-*.c sources where never moved
to their own directory.
So create a new mc directory and move all sources there. Also rename
the prefix from media- to mc-.
