Currently, CONFIG_STATIC_LINK can be enabled with options which cannot
be statically linked, namely UML_NET_VECTOR, UML_NET_VDE, and
UML_NET_PCAP; this is because glibc tries to load NSS which does not
support being statically linked. So make CONFIG_STATIC_LINK depend on
!UML_NET_VECTOR && !UML_NET_VDE && !UML_NET_PCAP.

UML_NET_VECTOR now supports filters compiled with pcap outside of UML;
it also supports: EoGRE, EoL2TPv3, RAW (+/- BPF), TAP and BESS.
While vector drivers are not 1:1 replacements for the existing drivers,
you can achieve the same topologies and the same connectivity at much
higher performance (2.5 to 9 Gbit on mid-range Ryzen desktop) - the old
drivers test out in the 500Mbit range on the same hardware.
For all these reasons, the non-vector based transports are now
unnecessary, and some, most notably pcap and vde are maintenance
burdens. Thus, it makes sense to at least start thinking about removing
the non-vector transports, so for now, mark them as obsolete.

This driver *can* be a module, but then its parameters (socket path)
are untrusted data from inside the VM, and that isn't allowed. Allow
the code to only be built-in to avoid that.

Formatting of Kconfig files doesn't look so pretty, so just
take damp cloth and clean it up. Just indention changes.

Merge arch/um/Kconfig.char and arch/um/Kconfig.net into a new
arch/um/drivers/Kconfig. This fits the way Kconfig files are placed
elsewhere in the kernel tree.
