CAPI: Schedule capifs for removal 

With dynamic TTY nodes and the help of udev, we no longer need this
special filesystem. Schedule it for removal in one year from now.

As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that
users can read the rationale.

Why: udev fully replaces this special file system that only contains CAPI

noticing the difference.
