Remove uscanner(4) driver

This exists for compatibility with a Linux interface which was apparently
deprecated in Linux 2.6. There are various mailing list threads going
back to 2004 where the usefulness of this driver is discussed, but
the conclusion is that scanner software has all moved to using ugen(4)
instead, and enabling this driver will not help you scan things.

Remove uyap, USB YAP phone firmware loader.

And the associated ezload EZ-USB code, which is only used by uyap.
It could theoretically be used by other drivers, but none of them are
in tree.

I suspect that this device isn't in use, as phone technology has improved
a lot since 2001 when uyap(4) was added to the tree.

Proposed with no objections on netbsd-users on 13 April 2020

remove urio(4), a driver for the Rio500 MP3 player.

At this point it is highly unlikely this 1999 device still has users,
but it still comes up in the context of maxv's USB-fuzzing (and any device
could pretend to be a urio(4)), so it's best to get rid of it.

Renamed all major entries to obsolete, as was done in previous removals.

This still requires an update to sanitizers, but they're located in
"external", perhaps it should be first committed upstream?

Proposed on tech-kern a month ago.

Remove the kernel PMC code. Sent yesterday on tech-kern@.

This change:

* Removes "options PERFCTRS", the associated includes, and the associated
ifdefs. In doing so, it removes several XXXSMPs in the MI code, which is
good.

* Removes the PMC code of ARM XSCALE.

* Removes all the pmc.h files. They were all empty, except for ARM XSCALE.

* Reorders the x86 PMC code not to rely on the legacy pmc.h file. The
definitions are put in sysarch.h.

* Removes the kern/sys_pmc.c file, and along with it, the sys_pmc_control
and sys_pmc_get_info syscalls. They are marked as OBSOL in kern,
netbsd32 and rump.

* Removes the pmc_evid_t and pmc_ctr_t types.

* Removes all the associated man pages. The sets are marked as obsolete.
