tty: reorganize tty & serial menus

Move LDISC_AUTOLOAD ahead of the Serial drivers menu.

Move the Serial drivers menu ahead of the Non-standard serial port
support menu.

Move NOZOMI out of the SERIAL_NONSTANDARD area since it does not
depend on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD and it breaks the SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
menu list.

Alphabetize the remaining drivers (in tty/Kconfig) by their prompt strings.
[The drivers in tty/hvc/Kconfig and tty/serial/Kconfig have not
been alphabetized.]

help
Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
means. This is not always the best thing to do on systems
where you know you will not be using some of the more
"ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
this unless the request is coming from a process with the
CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
by any user.
This functionality can be changed at runtime with the
dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will
only set the default value of this functionality.

The trace router uses the Linux tty line discipline framework to
route trace data coming from a tty port (say UART for example) to
the trace sink line discipline driver and to another tty port (say
USB). This is part of a solution for the MIPI P1149.7, compact JTAG,
standard, which is for debugging mobile devices. The PTI driver in
drivers/misc/pti.c defines the majority of this MIPI solution.
You should select this driver if the target kernel is meant for
a mobile device containing a modem. Then you will need to select

driver.
config TRACE_SINK

The trace sink uses the Linux line discipline framework to receive
trace data coming from the trace router line discipline driver
to a user-defined tty port target, like USB.
This is to provide a way to extract modem trace data on
devices that do not have a PTI HW module, or just need modem
trace data to come out of a different HW output port.
