George Kiagiadakis f3f89b8fc1 docs: shuffle files to have the same logical hierarchy as on the generated doc
Also:
 - rename some files to remove redundant information from the filenames
 - rename many labels to match the filename and its place in the hierarchy
 - move lua_api under the scripting section

Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpProxy <proxy_api>` contain the following methods:
.. function:: Proxy.get_interface_type(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_proxy_get_interface_type`
:param self: the proxy
:returns: the proxy type, the proxy type version
:rtype: string, integer
PipeWire Object
...............
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpPipewireObject <pipewire_object_api>`
contain the following methods:
.. function:: PipewireObject.iterate_params(self, param_name)
Binds :c:func:`wp_pipewire_object_enum_params_sync`
:param self: the proxy
:param string param_name: the PipeWire param name to enumerate,
ex "Props", "Route"
:returns: the available parameters
:rtype: Iterator; the iteration items are Spa Pod objects
.. function:: PipewireObject.set_param(self, param_name, pod)
Binds :c:func:`wp_pipewire_object_set_param`
:param self: the proxy
:param string param_name: The PipeWire param name to set, ex "Props", "Route"
:param Pod pod: A Spa Pod object containing the new params
Global Proxy
............
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpGlobalProxy <global_proxy_api>`
contain the following methods:
.. function:: GlobalProxy.request_destroy(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_global_proxy_request_destroy`
:param self: the proxy
PipeWire Node
.............
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpNode <node_api>` contain the following methods:
.. function:: Node.get_state(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_get_state`
:param self: the proxy
:returns: the current state of the node and an error message, if any
:rtype: string (:c:enum:`WpNodeState`), string (error message)
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.get_n_input_ports(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_get_n_input_ports`
:param self: the proxy
:returns: the current and max numbers of input ports on the node
:rtype: integer (current), integer (max)
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.get_n_output_ports(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_get_n_output_ports`
:param self: the proxy
:returns: the current and max numbers of output ports on the node
:rtype: integer (current), integer (max)
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.get_n_ports(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_get_n_ports`
:param self: the proxy
:returns: the number of ports on the node
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.iterate_ports(self, interest)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_iterate_ports`
:param self: the proxy
:param interest: an interest to filter objects
:type interest: :ref:`Interest <lua_object_interest_api>` or nil or none
:returns: all the ports of this node that that match the interest
:rtype: Iterator; the iteration items are of type :ref:`WpPort <port_api>`
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.lookup_port(self, interest)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_lookup_port`
:param self: the proxy
:param interest: the interest to use for the lookup
:type interest: :ref:`Interest <lua_object_interest_api>` or nil or none
:returns: the first port of this node that matches the interest
:rtype: :ref:`WpPort <port_api>`
:since: 0.4.2
.. function:: Node.send_command(self, command)
Binds :c:func:`wp_node_send_command`
:param self: the proxy
:param string command: the command to send to the node (ex "Suspend")
PipeWire Port
.............
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpPort <port_api>` contain the following methods:
.. function:: Port.get_direction(self)
Binds :c:func:`wp_port_get_direction`
:param self: the port
:returns: the direction of the Port
:rtype: string (:c:enum:`WpDirection`)
:since: 0.4.2
PipeWire Client
...............
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpClient <client_api>`
contain the following methods:
.. function:: Client.update_permissions(self, perms)
Binds :c:func:`wp_client_update_permissions`
Takes a table where the keys are object identifiers and the values are
permission strings.
Valid object identifiers are:
- A number, meaning the bound ID of a proxy
- The string "any" or the string "all", which sets the default permissions
for this client
The permission strings have a chmod-like syntax (ex. "rwx" or "r-xm"), where:
- "r" means permission to read the object
- "w" means permission to write data to the object
- "x" means permission to call methods on the object
- "m" means permission to set metadata for the object
- "-" is ignored and can be used to make the string more readable when
a permission flag is omitted
**Example:**
.. code-block:: lua
client:update_permissions {
["all"] = "r-x",
[35] = "rwxm",
}
:param self: the proxy
:param table perms: the permissions to update for this client

.................
Lua objects that bind a :ref:`WpMetadata <metadata_api>`
contain the following methods:
.. function:: Metadata.iterate(self, subject)
Binds :c:func:`wp_metadata_new_iterator`
:param self: the proxy
:param integer subject: the subject id
:returns: an iterator
.. function:: Metadata.find(self, subject, key)
Binds :c:func:`wp_metadata_find`
:param self: the proxy
:param string subject: the subject id
:param string key: the metadata key to find
:returns: the value for this metadata key, the type of the value
:rtype: string, string
