viafb: remove ioctls which break the framebuffer interface
The ioctls VIAFB_SET_DEVICE, VIAFB_SET_DEVICE_INFO and
VIAFB_SET_SECOND_MODE are removed because they prevent a clean
framebuffer driver because they modify the hardware and/or the
internal structures.
There are no known applications using these ioctls so no breakage is
expected. Additionaly the main functionality was duplicating the
framebuffer interface so there really should not exist any user.

Remove everything related to video devices from the driver as it did not
influence the driver operation. This patch does change the userspace
behaviour as it removes two IOCTLs and one module parameter. But this is
good as it removes useless stuff and helps the user to figure out the
options that do affect the driver behaviour (which are still too many).
