s390/net: Remove NETIUCV device driver
The netiucv driver creates TCP/IP interfaces over IUCV between Linux
guests on z/VM and other z/VM entities.
Rationale for removal:
- NETIUCV connections are only supported for compatibility with
earlier versions and not to be used for new network setups,
since at least Linux kernel 4.0.
- No known active users, use cases, or product dependencies
- The driver is no longer relevant for z/VM networking;
preferred methods include:
* Device pass-through (e.g., OSA, RoCE)
* z/VM Virtual Switch (VSWITCH)
The IUCV mechanism itself remains supported and is actively used
via AF_IUCV, hvc_iucv, and smsg_iucv.
