net: x25: Remove unimplemented X.25-over-LLC code stubs

Browse Source 
According to the X.25 documentation, there was a plan to implement
X.25-over-802.2-LLC. It never finished but left various code stubs in the
X.25 code. At this time it is unlikely that it would ever finish so it
may be better to remove those code stubs.

Also change the documentation to make it clear that this is not a ongoing
plan anymore. Change words like "will" to "could", "would", etc.

@ -19,13 +19,11 @@ implementation of LAPB. Therefore the LAPB modules would be called by
unintelligent X.25 card drivers and not by intelligent ones, this would
provide a uniform device driver interface, and simplify configuration.
To confuse matters a little, an 802.2 LLC implementation for Linux is being
written which will allow X.25 to be run over an Ethernet (or Token Ring) and
conform with the JNT "Pink Book", this will have a different interface to
the Packet Layer but there will be no confusion since the class of device
being served by the LLC will be completely separate from LAPB. The LLC
implementation is being done as part of another protocol project (SNA) and
by a different author.

Just when you thought that it could not become more confusing, another
option appeared, XOT. This allows X.25 Packet Layer frames to operate over
