V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driver 

The driver author seems to not worked on this driver since its conversion
from 2.2 to 2.4. Nobody is known to have a stradis hardware for testing. As
it still uses V4L1 API, BKL and probably some other old stuff, someone would
need to work on it to preserve the driver. Instead of investing time and
efforts to keep porting it to work with new API's, it seems better to just
drop the driver.

So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody
cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver
that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.

Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done
to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer
didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer

This is an obsolete driver for ancient stradis hardware.
We couldn't find anyone with this hardware in order to port it to use V4L2.
If nobody take care on it, the driver will be removed for 2.6.38.
Please send patches to linux-media@vger.kernel.org
