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.

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.

Retire "le* at pci?" from the shipped kernel configs:
- If the config had both an le@pci and a pcn, simply remove le@pci
(pcn would match at a higher priority anyway).
- If the config had le@pci enabled, but no pcn, change le@pci to pcn.
- If the config had le@pci commented out, but no pcn, change le@pci
to pcn and leave it commented out.

The pcn driver supports more chips than le@pci and does DMA directly
to/from mbufs rather than memory copies.

As discussed on current-users@, SANE uses ugen via libusb and not

is that addressing how to adjust permissions for scanners should not
block restoring basic functionionality.

right approach.)
