thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n

A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed
when this new hwmon I/F is enabled.
Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships
so those users can run the latest kernel.

libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users
can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.

+What:   CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON
+When:   January 2009
+Why:    This option was introduced just to allow older lm-sensors userspace
+        to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
+        removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.
