um: Remove file-based iomem emulation support
The file-based iomem emulation was introduced to support writing
paravirtualized drivers based on emulated iomem regions. However,
the only driver that makes use of it is an example driver called
mmapper, which was written over two decades ago.
We now have several modern device emulation mechanisms, such as
vhost-user-based virtio-uml. Remove the file-based iomem emulation
support to reduce the maintenance burden.
