x86 setup: remove remnants of CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT (read: vga=) 



Impact: cleanup

Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.

Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.

vga= always possible now which is good.

	  This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If

	  you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your

	  card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like

	  SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the

	  "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set

	  "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try

	  "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about

	  how to pass options to the kernel.)



	  Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information

	  about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
