[media] DocBook: Add an example for using FE_SET_PROPERTY
In order to make it clearer about how to use the DVBv5 calls, add an example of its usage. That should make it clearer about what's actually required for the DVBv5 calls to work. While here, also mentions the libdvbv5 library. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

<para>NOTE: This section describes the DVB version 5 extension of the DVB-API,
also called "S2API", as this API were added to provide support for DVB-S2. It
was designed to be able to replace the old frontend API. Yet, the DISEQC and
