usb gadget: use new serial core

Teach "gadget serial" to use the new abstracted (and bugfixed) TTY glue,
and remove all the orignal tangled-up code.  Update the documentation
accordingly.  This is a net object code shrink and cleanup; it should
make it a lot easier to see how the TTY glue should accomodate updates
to the TTY layer, be bugfixed, etc.

Notable behavior changes include:  it can now support getty even when
there's no USB connection; it fits properly into the mdev/udev world;
and RX handling is better (throttling works, and low latency).

Configurations with scripts setting up the /dev/ttygserial device node
(with "experimental" major number) may want to change that to be a
symlink pointing to the /dev/ttyGS0 file, as a migration aid; else,
just switch entirely over to mdev/udev.
