tty: rocket, remove the driver

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by out-of-tree drivers. Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it, they need to clean it up first.
