Remove the ISDN (mISDN, CAPI) subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP protocol
from the kernel tree.
ISDN is a pretty old technology and it's unclear whether anyone still
uses it. I went over the last few years of git history and all the
commits are either tree-wide conversions or syzbot/static analyzer
fixes.
When we discussed removal in the past IIRC there were some concerns
about ISDN still being used in parts of Germany. Unfortunately, the
code base is quite old, none of the current maintainers are familiar
with it and AI tools will have a field day finding bugs here.
Delete this code and preserve it in an out-of-tree repository
for any remaining users:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
UAPI constants AF_ISDN/PF_ISDN and the SELinux isdn_socket class
are preserved for ABI stability, but the rest of uAPI is removed.

The staging isdn drivers are gone, and CONFIG_BT_CMTP is now
the only user. This means a lot of the code in the subsystem
has no remaining callers and can be removed.
Change the capi user space front-end to be part of kernelcapi,
and the combined module to only be compiled if BT_CMTP is
also enabled, then remove the interfaces that have no remaining
callers.
As the notifier list and the capi_drivers list have no callers
outside of kcapi.c, the implementation gets much simpler.
Some definitions from the include/linux/*.h headers are only
needed internally and are moved to kcapi.h.

The ISDN documentation is a mix of admin guide, uAPI and kAPI.
Ideally, it should be split. Yet, not sure if it would worth
the troble. Anyway, we have the same kind of mix on several
drivers specific documentation. So, just like the others, keep
the directory at the root Documentation/ tree, just adding a
pointer to it at the kAPI section, as the documentation was
written with the Kernel developers in mind.
