[media] media: Media device node support

The media_devnode structure provides support for registering and
unregistering character devices using a dynamic major number. Reference
counting is handled internally, making device drivers easier to write
without having to solve the open/disconnect race condition issue over
and over again.

The code is based on video/v4l2-dev.c.
