CAPI: Schedule capifs for removal 



With dynamic TTY nodes and the help of udev, we no longer need this
special filesystem. Schedule it for removal in one year from now.

As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that
users can read the rationale.

What:	capifs

When:	February 2011

Files:	drivers/isdn/capi/capifs.*

Why:	udev fully replaces this special file system that only contains CAPI

	NCCI TTY device nodes. User space (pppdcapiplugin) works without

	noticing the difference.
