fmc: Delete the FMC subsystem

The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to
drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream.

The current implementation has architectural flaws and would
need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can
reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g.
I2C, FPGA and GPIO.

We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be
better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean
slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

-===========
-
-The simple module fmc-trivial is just a simple client that registers an
-interrupt handler. I used it to verify the basic mechanism of the FMC
-bus and how interrupts worked.
-
-The module implements the generic FMC parameters, so it can program a
-different gateware file in each card. The whole list of parameters it
-accepts are:
-
-`busid='
-`gateware='
-     Generic parameters. See mezzanine.txt
-
-
-This driver is worth reading, in my opinion.
