Remove the ISDN (mISDN, CAPI) subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP protocol
from the kernel tree.
ISDN is a pretty old technology and it's unclear whether anyone still
uses it. I went over the last few years of git history and all the
commits are either tree-wide conversions or syzbot/static analyzer
fixes.
When we discussed removal in the past IIRC there were some concerns
about ISDN still being used in parts of Germany. Unfortunately, the
code base is quite old, none of the current maintainers are familiar
with it and AI tools will have a field day finding bugs here.
Delete this code and preserve it in an out-of-tree repository
for any remaining users:

UAPI constants AF_ISDN/PF_ISDN and the SELinux isdn_socket class
are preserved for ABI stability, but the rest of uAPI is removed.

license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
