[PKT_SCHED]: Rework QoS and/or fair queueing configuration
Make "QoS and/or fair queueing" have its own menu, it's too big to be inlined into "Network options". Remove the obsolete NET_QOS option. Automatically select NET_CLS if needed. Do the same for NET_ESTIMATOR but allow it to be selected manually for statistical purposes. Add comments to separate queueing from classification. Fix dependencies and ordering of classifiers. Improve descriptions/help texts and remove outdated pieces. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
