sound: Retire OSS
Since no complaints have been raised after disabling the build of OSS (Open Sound System) by the commit 31cbee6a5611 ("sound: Disable the build of OSS drivers"), let's finally drop the whole code and documentation. Some glue codes are still left intact since sound/oss/dmasound stuff remains -- which is an independent implementation solely for m68k, and it's not covered by ALSA yet. Also, a couple of API header files (linux/sound.h and linux/soundcard.h) are kept remaining as well, since the OSS API itself is still supported by ALSA OSS emulation, and applications can refer to these. Where we're at it, some help texts in the top-level Kconfig are adjusted, too (who still needs to specify I/O port in kbuild nowadays?).

-This loads the driver for the Sound Blaster and assorted clones. Cards that
-are covered by other drivers should not be using this driver.
-
-The Sound Blaster module takes the following arguments
-
-io I/O address of the Sound Blaster chip (0x220,0x240,0x260,0x280)
-irq IRQ of the Sound Blaster chip (5,7,9,10)
-dma 8-bit DMA channel for the Sound Blaster (0,1,3)
-dma16 16-bit DMA channel for SB16 and equivalent cards (5,6,7)
-mpu_io I/O for MPU chip if present (0x300,0x330)
-
-sm_games=1 Set if you have a Logitech soundman games
-acer=1 Set this to detect cards in some ACER notebooks
-mwave_bug=1 Set if you are trying to use this driver with mwave (see on)
-type Use this to specify a specific card type
-
-The following arguments are taken if ISAPnP support is compiled in
-
-isapnp=0 Set this to disable ISAPnP detection (use io=0xXXX etc. above)
-multiple=0 Set to disable detection of multiple Soundblaster cards.
- Consider it a bug if this option is needed, and send in a
- report.
-pnplegacy=1 Set this to be able to use a PnP card(s) along with a single
- non-PnP (legacy) card. Above options for io, irq, etc. are
- needed, and will apply only to the legacy card.
-reverse=1 Reverses the order of the search in the PnP table.
-uart401=1 Set to enable detection of mpu devices on some clones.
-isapnpjump=n Jumps to slot n in the driver's PnP table. Use the source,
- Luke.

-You may well want to load the opl3 driver for synth music on most SB and
-clone SB devices
-
-insmod opl3 io=0x388
-
-Using Mwave
-
-To make this driver work with Mwave you must set mwave_bug. You also need
-to warm boot from DOS/Windows with the required firmware loaded under this
-OS. IBM are being difficult about documenting how to load this firmware.
-
-Avance Logic ALS007
-
-This card is supported; see the separate file ALS007 for full details.
-
-Avance Logic ALS100
-
-This card is supported; setup should be as for a standard Sound Blaster 16.
-The driver will identify the audio device as a "Sound Blaster 16 (ALS-100)".
