Remove the core bluetooth code
It's been deprecated since QEMU v3.1. We've explicitly asked in the deprecation message that people should speak up on qemu-devel in case they are still actively using the bluetooth part of QEMU, but nobody ever replied that they are really still using it. I've tried it on my own to use this bluetooth subsystem for one of my guests, but I was also not able to get it running anymore: When I was trying to pass-through a real bluetooth device, either the guest did not see the device at all, or the guest crashed. Even worse for the emulated device: When running qemu-system-x86_64 -bt device:keyboard QEMU crashes once you hit a key. So it seems like the bluetooth stack is not only neglected, it is completely bitrotten, as far as I can tell. The only attention that this code got during the past years were some CVEs that have been spotted there. So this code is a burden for the developers, without any real benefit anymore. Time to remove it. Note: hw/bt/Kconfig only gets cleared but not removed here yet. Otherwise there is a problem with the *-softmmu/config-devices.mak.d dependency files - they still contain a reference to this file which gets evaluated first on some build hosts, before the file gets properly recreated. To avoid breaking these builders, we still need the file around for some time. It will get removed in a couple of weeks instead.
