[PATCH] ide-tape: warn about soon to be removed OnStream support

I see only pros of removing OnStream support:
 - SCSI osst.c driver is actively maintained by Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org>
 - there is no functionality loss (OnStream IDE drives don't support DSC)
 - ide-tape.c driver is too ugly & complicated even without OnStream support
 - long term benefits (2.7.x plans on unifying storage drivers)
