Tweak some more documentation.

A lot of the previous Qt Mobility API methods were still present,
so they are gone now.  Also removed some of the C++ documentation
since it's not public API anyway.
Made a group for camera QML APIs and used that for the list in the
camera overview documentation.

This element is part of the \bold{QtMultimedia 5.0} module.
You can use the \c Camera element to capture images and movies from a camera, and manipulate
the capture and processing settings that get applied to the images. To display the
viewfinder you can use a \l VideoOutput element with the Camera element set as the source.

across a few different child properties of Camera.

Basic camera state management, error reporting, and simple zoom properties are
available in the Camera element itself. For integration with C++ code, the
\l mediaObject property allows you to access the standard QtMultimedia camera
controls.
Many of the camera settings may take some time to apply, and might be limited
to certain supported values depending on the hardware. Several camera settings
support both automatic and manual modes, with the current actual setting being
used being exposed.
