minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless
by other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is
defferent on each architecture like below:

m68k:
	big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps

h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
	big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps

m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
	big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
	little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode

Others:
	little-endian bitmaps

In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to
architecture independent code in minix file system, this provides two
config options.

CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which
use native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc,
m68knommu, m32r, mips, sh, xtensa).
The architectures which always use little-endian bitmaps do not select
these options.

Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for
all architectures.
