We used to prompt CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI_MODERN to user which may bring a
lot of confusion. E.g it may break various default configs which want
virtio devices.

So this patch fixes this by hiding the prompot and documenting the
dependency. While at it, rename the module to VIRTIO_PCI_LIB.

Michael,

Can we please add this NOW to next? virtio-pci is broken without it on
many defconfigs including s390. So linux-next is broken for more than 
2 weeks now and it actively breaks several parts of our CI.
I guess there are other CIs that will not run several testcases because
of this. And Naresh reported that on Feb 9th.
There IS value in CI tools on next. Not caring about regressions introduced
by a tree in next is harmful. Especially when we are close or in the
merge window. So please: either fix things quickly OR revert.

Christian
