MIPS: Clean up MIPS MT and CMP configuration options.
This patch accomplishes the following:
* Clean up wording on all MIPS MT configuration menu items.
* Simplify and neaten up options selected by MIPS_MT_SMP.
* Make MIPS_MT_SMTC support as deprecated.
* Make MIPS_CMP support to depend on MIPS_MT_SMP also.
* Remove redundant options selected by MIPS_CMP.

- This is a kernel model which is known a VSMP but lately has been
- marketesed into SMVP.
- Virtual SMP uses the processor's VPEs to implement virtual
- processors. In currently available configuration of the 34K processor
- this allows for a dual processor. Both processors will share the same
- primary caches; each will obtain the half of the TLB for it's own
- exclusive use. For a layman this model can be described as similar to
- what Intel calls Hyperthreading.

- is presenting the available TC's of the core as processors to Linux.
- On currently available 34K processors this means a Linux system will
- see up to 5 processors. The implementation of the SMTC kernel differs
- significantly from VSMP and cannot efficiently coexist in the same
- kernel binary so the choice between VSMP and SMTC is a compile time
- decision.
