Subject[PATCH,RFC] move CONFIG_NET to net/Kconfig
After playing a bit of the old iq test game "find an entry that doesn't
fit" in "General Setup," I decided to send in for review the following
patch that seems almost as drastic as it is logical:

o Create a "Networking Support" menu.
o Move "Networking options" into the new "Networking Support" menu.
o Move "Network device support" into the new "Networking Support" menu.

The best part of this patch is that it eliminates a lot of duplicit
stuff in 15 arch-specific files (only sparc32 and m68k define their
net devices in an arch specific Kconfig) and places a single 'source
"drivers/net/Kconfig"' line in the one file where it belongs, net/Kconfig.

There's one problem with the CRIS and M68KNOMMU architectures, that is
they don't provide CONFIG_{CRIS,M68KNOMMU} or a similar setting, which
is a boo hoo for drivers/atm/Kconfig (see the comment in the patch).
