mei: drop amthif internal client
AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.
