tty: Remove redundant synclink driver

A note from the vendor:

 "The hardware used with synclink.c and synclinkmp.c has not been
  manufactured for 15 years and was low volume. The chances of either
  driver still being in use is very low. Not even Microgate (me) has
  the ability to test either anymore (no hardware). I don’t know the
  policy about driver removal, but I think both could be removed
  without upsetting anyone."

Provides support for the SyncLink ISA and PCI multiprotocol serial
adapters. These adapters support asynchronous and HDLC bit
synchronous communication up to 10Mbps (PCI adapter).
This driver can only be built as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
