Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf

Browse source 
Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.

There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

2.2 Configuration
The configuration requires module configuration and device
configuration. I like kmod or kerneld process with the
/etc/modprobe.conf file so the modules can automatically load/unload as
they are used. The video devices could already exist, be generated
using MAKEDEV, or need to be created. The following sections detail
these procedures.

2.1 Module Configuration
Using modules requires a bit of work to install and pass the
parameters. Understand that entries in /etc/modprobe.conf of:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 c-qcam
will cause the kmod/modprobe to do certain things. If you are
using kmod, then a request for a 'char-major-81-0' will cause
the 'c-qcam' module to load. If you have other video sources with
modules, you might want to assign the different minor numbers to
different modules.
2.2 Device Configuration
At this point, we need to ensure that the device files exist.
