[media] v4l2-event: Add v4l2_subscribed_event_ops
Just like with ctrl events, drivers may want to get called back on
listener add / remove for other event types too. Rather then special
casing all of this in subscribe / unsubscribe event it is better to
use ops for this.

Queue events to video device. The driver's only responsibility is to fill
in the type and the data fields. The other fields will be filled in by
V4L2.

The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
- v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event. The last argument is the
