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.

This option provides a special file system, similar to /dev/pts with
device nodes for the special ttys established by using the
middleware extension above.
You no longer need this, udev fully replaces it. This feature is
scheduled for removal.
