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?).

The SGI Visual Workstation seems to be dead; remove support so we
don't have to continue maintaining it.

This driver does no longer build since at least 2.6.30 and there is a
modern ALSA replacement for it.  RIP, Rot In Pieces.

Remove the SH DAC oss driver since there is an equivalent alsa driver.
oss has been deprecated for years. Furthermore this driver has BKL code
which we are trying to remove. Rather than attempt to fix this, simply
remove the driver.

The OSS driver for Ensoniq SoundScape cards is broken after conversion
to mutexes and a new ALSA snd-sscape driver handles all devices handled
by the OSS one.

The ALSA driver was tested with these cards:
Spea V7 MediaFX
Ensoniq Soundscape Elite
Ensoniq Soundscape VIVO (this card is not handled by the OSS driver)

With the restructering of the indy button handling the old OSS HAL2 driver
got broken.  Since there is a new ALSA driver for HAL2, the experimental
OSS driver is obsolete and will be removed by this patch.

SOUND_TRIDENT was the last PCI OSS driver, and since there's already an
ALSA driver for the same hardware we can remove it.
