Since the fbdev framework is in maintenance mode and all new display drivers should be made with the DRM framework, remove fbtft from staging.

FYI: I'm working on a drm version of fbtft: https://github.com/notro/tinydrm I have just picked it up after a 4 month break.
It is ready for a new review, except that I want to test how it would perform as a drm userspace driver first (for spi that would mean adding dma-buf support to spidev). If this performs well, then all the fbtft drivers could move to userspace. If it doesn't, then at least (very slow) i2c and e-ink displays could be userspace drivers.
Alright, sounds good to me.
So let's keep the staging fbdev drivers there until we have replacements.
