[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

7 ---help---
8 If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
9 Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
10 is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
11 Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
12 networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
13 As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
14 other third party bridge products.
15
16 In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
17 configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
18 for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
19 information.
20
21 If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
22 turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
23 iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
24 take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
25 Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
26 bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.

28 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
29 will be called bridge.
