The only user of Kconfig symbol STDIO_CONSOLE was removed in v2.5.65.
Its entry can safely be removed.

0) Untested.

1) A short history of STDIO_CONSOLE and CONFIG_STDIO_CONSOLE

CONFIG_STDIO_CONSOLE was added in v2.4.9 (August 2001). It wrapped a
call of stdio_console_init() in an #ifdef and #endif pair.

The Kconfig symbol STDIO_CONSOLE was added in v2.5.35 (September 2002).
That release also introduced a definition of stdio_console_init().

Both CONFIG_STDIO_CONSOLE and the call of stdio_console_init() that it
guarded were removed in v2.5.65 (March 2003). An instance of the
console_initcall() macro was then added for stdio_console_init.
