USB: cxacru: remove cxacru-cf.bin loader

This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
not get enough data to work with and none of the
configuration values will be used.

At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.

Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
to convert from the original format.
