From: Peter Seiderer <ps.rep...@gmx.net>
This v4l2_buffer flag can be used by drivers to mark a capture buffer
as the last generated buffer, for example after a V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP
command was issued.
The DocBook is updated to mention mem2mem codecs and the mem2mem draining flow
signals in the VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP and VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD
V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP documentation.

Changes since v3:
- Added DocBook update mentioning V4L2_BUF_FLAG_LAST in the encoder/decoder
stop command documentation.
