[RFC PATCH v2 6/8] termios: change the generic cfsetspeed() to support arbitrary speeds

The generic implementaion of cfsetspeed() had an internal table of
permitted baud rates, which was enforced even on an implementation
supporting arbitrary baud rates. This was to be able to *also* accept
numeric constants as well as Bxxx values.

This fundamentally makes no sense; not only does it go against the
documented behavior of cfsetspeed() which is to take the same input
as cfset[io]speed(), but it means cfsetspeed() is broken with regard
to a platform supporting arbitrary speeds.

With Linux converted to arbitrary baud rates, the only remaining case
of non-arbitrary baud rates appears to be Hurd with USE_OLD_TTY, which
one can presume being a legacy case that few if any people care about,
and so simply strip out this code and make cfsetspeed() rely on
cfsetospeed() to validate acceptable speed constants.

If a new platform is introduced which does not have arbitrary baud
rate support, using non-baud rate Bxxx constants (highly not
recommended; should be abstracted at the glibc level) but such
aliasing is desired, it should be supported by cfset[io]speed() as
well, and belongs in the platform-specific code.
