[media] media: reorganize the main Kconfig items
Change the main items to: <m> Multimedia support ---> [ ] Cameras/video grabbers support [ ] Analog TV support [ ] Digital TV support [ ] AM/FM radio receivers/transmitters support [ ] Remote Controller support This provides an interface that is clearer to end users that are compiling the Kernel, and will allow the building system to automatically unselect drivers for unused functions.
