net: remove unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers

Remove the ATM protocol modules and PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers that are no longer in active use. The ATM core protocol stack, PPPoATM, BR2684, and USB DSL modem drivers (drivers/usb/atm/) are retained in-tree to maintain PPP over ATM (PPPoA) and PPPoE-over-BR2684 support for DSL connections. The Solos ADSL2+ PCI driver is also retained. Removed ATM protocol modules: - net/atm/clip.c - Classical IP over ATM (RFC 2225) - net/atm/lec.c - LAN Emulation Client (LANE) - net/atm/mpc.c, mpoa_caches.c, mpoa_proc.c - Multi-Protocol Over ATM Removed PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers (drivers/atm/): - adummy, atmtcp - software/testing ATM devices - eni - Efficient Networks ENI155P (OC-3, ~1995) - fore200e - FORE Systems 200E PCI/SBUS (OC-3, ~1999) - he - ForeRunner HE (OC-3/OC-12, ~2000) - idt77105 - IDT 77105 25 Mbps ATM PHY - idt77252 - IDT 77252 NICStAR II (OC-3, ~2000) - iphase - Interphase ATM PCI (OC-3/DS3/E3) - lanai - Efficient Networks Speedstream 3010 - nicstar - IDT 77201 NICStAR (155/25 Mbps, ~1999) - suni - PMC S/UNI SONET PHY library Also clean up references in: - net/bridge/ - remove ATM LANE hook (br_fdb_test_addr_hook, br_fdb_test_addr) - net/core/dev.c - remove br_fdb_test_addr_hook export - defconfig files - remove ATM driver config options The removed code is moved to an out-of-tree module package (mod-orphan).
