serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.

Browse Source 
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.

This commit removes the MCA specific 8250 UART code.

All ISA, and EISA boards that you want to use need to be configured into
