kernel - Get rid of ancient unused 256 non-cloned pty devices.
* These haven't really been used in more than a decade, I think.
* The only binary that still has code for these is rfcomm_sppd(1), however
that's part of the bluetooth stack, and hence isn't useable anyways.
This should be easy to modernize, to use a cloned pty device instead.
* Updating manpages a bit, to refer to the "modern" cloned pty devices.
