tipar: remove obsolete module

The tipar character driver was used to implement bit-banging access
to Texas Instruments parallel link cable. A user-land method now 
exists thru PPDEV & PARPORT.

-INTRODUCTION:
-
-This is a driver for the very common home-made parallel link cable, a cable 
-designed for connecting TI8x/9x graphing calculators (handhelds) to a computer
-or workstation (Alpha, Sparc). Given that driver is built on parport, the 
-parallel port abstraction layer, this driver is architecture-independent.
-
-It can also be used with another device plugged on the same port (such as a
-ZIP drive). I have a 100MB ZIP and both of them work fine!
-
-If you need more information, please visit the 'TI drivers' homepage at the URL
-above.
-
-WHAT YOU NEED:
-
-A TI calculator and a program capable of communicating with your calculator.
-
-TiLP will work for sure (since I am its developer!). yal92 may be able to use
-it by changing tidev for tipar (may require some hacking...).
-
-HOW TO USE IT:
-
-You must have first compiled parport support (CONFIG_PARPORT_DEV): either 
-compiled in your kernel, either as a module. 
-
-Next, (as root):
-
-       modprobe parport
-       modprobe tipar
-
-If it is not already there (it usually is), create the device:
-
-       mknod /dev/tipar0 c 115 0
-       mknod /dev/tipar1 c 115 1
-       mknod /dev/tipar2 c 115 2
-
-You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
-from it:
-
-       chmod 666 /dev/tipar[0..2]
-       
-Now you are ready to run a linking program such as TiLP. Be sure to configure 
-it properly (RTFM).
-       
-MODULE PARAMETERS:
-
-  You can set these with:  modprobe tipar NAME=VALUE
-  There is currently no way to set these on a per-cable basis.
-
-  NAME: timeout
-  TYPE: integer
-  DEFAULT: 15
-  DESC: Timeout value in tenth of seconds. If no data is available once this 
-        time has expired then the driver will return with a timeout error.
-
-  NAME: delay
-  TYPE: integer
-  DEFAULT: 10
-  DESC: Inter-bit delay in micro-seconds. A lower value gives an higher data
-        rate but makes transmission less reliable.
-
-These parameters can be changed at run time by any program via ioctl(2) calls 
-as listed in ./include/linux/ticable.h.
-
-Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is
-perhaps more useful you look at ticables library (dev_link.c) that demonstrates
-how to use them, and demonstrates the features of the driver. This is
-probably a lot more useful to people interested in writing applications
-that will be using this driver.
-
-QUIRKS/BUGS:
-
-None.

-HOW TO CONTACT US:
-
-You can email me at roms@lpg.ticalc.org. Please prefix the subject line
-with "TIPAR: " so that I am certain to notice your message.
-You can also mail JB at jb@jblache.org. He packaged these drivers for Debian.
-
-CREDITS:
-
-The code is based on tidev.c & parport.c.
-The driver has been developed independently of Texas Instruments.
