We have some duplicate functionality between the zc0301 and gspca-zc3xx,
the sn9c102 and gspca-sonixb + gspca-sonix, and et61x251 and gscpa-etoms
drivers.
The non gspca versions of these drivers not only show a lot of code
duplicty (amongsth each other), as they all copy the same generic usb
webcam code instead of using some sort of framework. They also have not
seen any updates for more then 2 years, where as the gspca drivers are
actively maintained.
So it is time for the non gspca versions of these drivers to go away,
marking them as deprecated is the first step in this.

Change Kconfig objects from "menu, config" into "menuconfig" so
that the user can disable the whole feature without having to
enter the menu first.

V4L1 API is depreciated and should be removed soon from kernel. This patch
adds two new options, one to disable V4L1 drivers, and another to disable
V4L1 compat module. This way, it would be easy to check what still depends
on V4L1 stuff, allowing also to test if app works fine with V4L2 only support.
