MIPS: Clean up MIPS MT and CMP configuration options.

This patch accomplishes the following:

  * Clean up wording on all MIPS MT configuration menu items.
  * Simplify and neaten up options selected by MIPS_MT_SMP.
  * Make MIPS_MT_SMTC support as deprecated.
  * Make MIPS_CMP support to depend on MIPS_MT_SMP also.
  * Remove redundant options selected by MIPS_CMP.

-         This is a kernel model which is known a VSMP but lately has been

-         Virtual SMP uses the processor's VPEs  to implement virtual
-         processors. In currently available configuration of the 34K processor
-         this allows for a dual processor. Both processors will share the same
-         primary caches; each will obtain the half of the TLB for it's own
-         exclusive use. For a layman this model can be described as similar to
-         what Intel calls Hyperthreading.
