linux/termio: remove <termio.h> and struct termio
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.
