The ce(4) and cp(4) drivers have been retired.

Add deprecation notices to ce,cp sync serial drivers

And the related sconfig utility.  Sync serial (e.g. E1/T1) interfaces
are obsolete, and nobody responded to several inquires on the mailing
lists about use of these drivers.

Fix sconfig(8) build.

2021-10-22T20:28:44+00:00

Missed that since sconfig(8) was built on i386 only. Since I enabled
cp(4) on amd64, enable sconfig(8) as well.

Retire synchronous PPP kernel driver sppp(4).

2021-10-22T18:41:36+00:00

The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).

These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx .

Since Roman Kurakin  has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially.  Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to.  As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver.  However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.

These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP.  Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.

Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part.  Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.

While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64.  The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

Fix the following -Werror warning from clang 10.0.0 in sconfig:

2020-02-13T18:37:17+00:00

sbin/sconfig/sconfig.c:909:5: error: misleading indentation; statement is not part of the previous 'else' [-Werror,-Wmisleading-indentation]
                                exit (-1);

                        } else
                          ^

The intent was to group the exit() call with the previous fprintf()
call.
