High level ACK. (I didn't do full review, but trust @benpicco review instead. I agree on a conceptional level that we shouldn't maintain legacy drivers when new drivers are ready, unless we really have strong reasons to burden us with the duplicated effort. So if someone thinks this formally needs a second ACK, here it is.)

Contribution description
This PR removes the legacy netdev implementation of CC2538.
From now on, only the Radio HAL variant is available, but users can still use this radio as a netdev interface using
netdev_ieee802154_submac. Therefore this shouldn't be consider as an API change. Although it's true that some NETOPTs are not (yet) exposed bynetdev_ieee802154_submac, the legacy version doesn't implement retransmissions nor CSMA-CA, which makes it hard to use it in real scenarios.Testing procedure
