[media] DVB: Query DVB frontend delivery capabilities
Currently, for any multi-standard frontend it is assumed that it just
has a single standard capability. This is fine in some cases, but
makes things hard when there are incompatible standards in conjuction.
Eg: DVB-S can be seen as a subset of DVB-S2, but the same doesn't hold
the same for DSS. This is not specific to any driver as it is, but a
generic issue. This was handled correctly in the multiproto tree,
while such functionality is missing from the v5 API update.

Later on a FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION was added as a hack to workaround this
issue in the v5 API, but that hack is incapable of addressing the
issue, as it can be used to simply distinguish between DVB-S and
DVB-S2 alone, or another X vs X2 modulation. If there are more systems,
then you have a potential issue.
An application needs to query the device capabilities before requesting
any operation from the device.
