snd-pcsp: adjust help texts to frighten users

Added the warning text to the help of snd-pcsp about the possible problem
with this driver so that user can know of the problem in advance.

Also, removed the obsoleted text about ancient pc-speaker patch in
CONFIG_SOUND help.

I'm told that even without a sound card, you can make your computer
say more than an occasional beep, by programming the PC speaker.
Kernel patches and supporting utilities to do that are in the pcsp
package, available at <ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp/>.

WARNING: if you already have a soundcard, enabling this
driver may lead to a problem. Namely, it may get loaded
before the other sound driver of yours, making the
pc-speaker a default sound device. Which is likely not
what you want. To make this driver play nicely with other
sound driver, you can add this into your /etc/modprobe.conf:
options snd-pcsp index=2

Say M if you don't.
Say Y only if you really know what you do.
