udpencap: Remove Obsolete UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE Support
The UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE mode, introduced into the Linux kernel
in 2004 [2], has remained inactive and obsolete for an extended period.
This mode was originally defined in an early version of an IETF draft
[1] from 2001. By the time it was integrated into the kernel in 2004 [2],
it had already been replaced by UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP [3] in later
versions of draft-ietf-ipsec-udp-encaps, particularly in version 06.
Over time, UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE has lost its relevance, with no
known use cases.
With this commit, we remove support for UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE,
simplifying the codebase and eliminating unnecessary complexity.
Kernel will return an error -ENOPROTOOPT if the userspace tries to set
this option.
