Remove DECnet support from kernel

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

-	tristate "DECnet Support"
-	help
-	  The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
-	  Digital (now Compaq).  It provides reliable stream and sequenced
-	  packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
-	  to those which run over TCP/IP.
-
-	  To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
-	  look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
-	  <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
-
-	  More detailed documentation is available in
-	  <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.rst>.
-
-	  Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
-	  below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
-	  in configuration at run time.
-
-	  The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
-	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
-	  The module is called decnet.

-	bool "DECnet: router support"
-	depends on DECNET
-	select FIB_RULES
-	help
-	  Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2
-	  router.  This is an experimental, but functional option.  If you
-	  do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User
-	  network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet
-	  filtering".  The first two are required to allow configuration via
-	  rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package
-	  from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet
-	  filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon
-	  to work.
