[PATCH 3/3] kconfig: remove named choice support

[Masahiro Yamada]

Commit 5a1aa8a1aff6 ("kconfig: add named choice group") did not provide
enough explanation. A use case was found in another project [1], but
this has never been used in the kernel.

 A choice accepts another option "optional", which allows to set the
 choice to 'n' and no entry needs to be selected.
-If no [symbol] is associated with a choice, then you can not have multiple
-definitions of that choice. If a [symbol] is associated to the choice,
-then you may define the same choice (i.e. with the same entries) in another
-place.
