V4L/DVB: Documentation: update now that the vtx/videotext API has been removed
Remove all references to /dev/vtx in the documentation, except for some historical comments in dev-teletext.xml. Documentation/devices.txt is not updated, this will go through Alan Cox who maintains this file.

-What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support
-When: 2.6.35
-Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c
- include/linux/videotext.h
-Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes
- for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support.
- Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249
- has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware
- that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically
- supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked.
-
- In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there
- are no applications actually implementing this API.
-
- The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really
- like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely
- event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality
- provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build
- around the sliced VBI API instead.
