sound: Retire OSS

Since no complaints have been raised after disabling the build of OSS
(Open Sound System) by the commit 31cbee6a56 ("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?).

If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information
about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port,
interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it.
You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about
the modular sound system is contained in the files
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly
outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound
driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>.
If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot
time using the ISA PnP tools (read
<http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to
compile the sound card support as a module and load that module
after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here
and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module
will be called soundcore.
