[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.

9 | Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, frame relay and leased | ||
10 | lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast | ||
11 | distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those | ||
12 | achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections. | ||
13 | Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is | ||
14 | needed to connect to a WAN. | ||
15 | |||
16 | As an alternative, WAN routing can be built into the Linux kernel. | ||
17 | With relatively inexpensive WAN interface cards available on the | ||
18 | market, a perfectly usable router can be built for less than half | ||
19 | the price of an external router. If you have one of those cards and | ||
20 | wish to use your Linux box as a WAN router, say Y here and also to | ||
21 | the WAN driver for your card, below. You will then need the | ||
22 | wan-tools package which is available from <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>. | ||
23 | Read <file:Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt> for more | ||
24 | information. | ||
25 | |||
26 | To compile WAN routing support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
27 | module will be called wanrouter. | ||
