AT91: Added a generic way to setup AT91 serial ports in Kconfig
Development boards sometimes have more possible serial port
configurations than those catered for in the code. If someone
designs a board, based on a certain development board and
the serial configuration differs slightly, the developer either
needs to submit new board software, or patch the development
board's software.
In order to avoid this, I added some serial port setup menus to
Kconfig. All AT91 boards can now be set up with custom serial
configurations, without touching the code.
While writing the patch I also removed a huge amount of code,
that was mindlessly copied, every time a new board was made.
We now have much less AT91-serial code to maintain.
The changes in Kconfig was tested by compiling all code for all
AT91 boards after doing a 'make <board>_defconfig'.
