Documentation/networking: delete orphaned 3c505.txt file.
In the commit 0e245dbaac9fa1c2fd0f4e2af7b9f6d874083a8b
("drivers/net: delete the 3Com 3c505/3c507 intel i825xx support")
we clobbered the 3c505 driver (over a year ago) along with other
abandoned ISA drivers.
However, this orphaned README file escaped detection at that
time, and has lived on until today. Get rid of it now.
