[PATCH v4] linux/termio: remove <termio.h> and struct termio

[H. Peter Anvin]

The <termio.h> interface is absolutely ancient: it was obsoleted by
<termios.h> already in the first version of POSIX (1988) and thus
predates the very first version of Linux. Unfortunately, some constant
macros are used both by <termio.h> and <termios.h>; particularly
problematic is the baud rate constants since the termio interface
*requires* that the baud rate is set via an enumeration as part of
c_cflag.

In preparation of revamping the termios interface to support the
arbitrary baud rate capability that the Linux kernel has supported
since 2008, remove <termio.h> in the hope that no one still uses this
archaic interface.

Note that there is no actual code in glibc to support termio: it is
purely an unabstracted ioctl() interface.

[ v4: fix botched patch ]
[ v3: rebase onto current master ceeffd970c56893885cbf8382ae34b015f177850 ]
[ v2: remove separate struct termio definitions for mips and sparc ]
