[PKT_SCHED]: Rework QoS and/or fair queueing configuration

Make "QoS and/or fair queueing" have its own menu, it's too big to be
inlined into "Network options". Remove the obsolete NET_QOS option.
Automatically select NET_CLS if needed. Do the same for NET_ESTIMATOR
but allow it to be selected manually for statistical purposes. Add
comments to separate queueing from classification. Fix dependencies
and ordering of classifiers. Improve descriptions/help texts and
remove outdated pieces.

         ---help---
-        You must have new iproute2 to use this feature.
-        This adds a very simple action for demonstration purposes
-	The idea is to give action authors a basic example to look at.
-	All this action will do is print on the console the configured
-	policy string followed by _ then packet count.
+	  Say Y here to add a simple action for demonstration purposes.
+	  It is meant as an example and for debugging purposes. It will
+	  print a configured policy string followed by the packet count
+	  to the console for every packet that passes by.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called simple.

+config NET_CLS_POLICE
+	bool "Traffic Policing (obsolete)"
+	depends on NET_SCHED && NET_CLS_ACT!=y
+	select NET_ESTIMATOR
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here if you want to do traffic policing, i.e. strict
+	  bandwidth limiting. This option is obsoleted by the traffic
+	  policer implemented as action, it stays here for compatibility
+	  reasons.
+
+config NET_CLS_IND
+	bool "Incoming device classification"
+	depends on NET_SCHED && (NET_CLS_U32 || NET_CLS_FW)
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here to extend the u32 and fw classifier to support
+	  classification based on the incoming device. This option is
+	  likely to disappear in favour of the metadata ematch.
+
+config NET_ESTIMATOR
+	bool "Rate estimator"
+	depends on NET_SCHED
+	---help---
+	  Say Y here to allow using rate estimators to estimate the current
+	  rate-of-flow for network devices, queues, etc. This module is
+	  automaticaly selected if needed but can be selected manually for
+	  statstical purposes.
