Remove support for the Arcnet protocol.

Description

Remove support for the Arcnet protocol.

While Arcnet has some continued deployment in industrial controls, the
lack of drivers for any of the PCI, USB, or PCIe NICs on the market
suggests such users aren't running FreeBSD.

Evidence in the PR database suggests that the cm(4) driver (our sole
Arcnet NIC) was broken in 5.0 and has not worked since.
