[NET] AX.25 Kconfig and docs updates and fixes
o The AX.25 Howto is unmaintained since several years. I've replaced it
with a wiki at http://www.linux-ax25.org which provides more uptodate
information.
o Change default for AX25_DAMA_SLAVE to Y. AX25_DAMA_SLAVE only compiles
in support for DAMA but doesn't activate it. I hope this gets Linux
distributions to ship their AX.25 kernels with AX25_DAMA_SLAVE enabled.
The price for this would be very small.
o Delete historic changelog from comments, that's what SCM systems are
meant to do.
o ---help--- in Kconfig looks so yellingly eye insulting. Use just help.
o Rewrite the commented out piece of old Linux 2.4 configuration language
to Kconfig for consistency.
o Fixup dependencies.
