fs, kernel: permit disabling the uselib syscall
uselib hasn't been used since libc5; glibc does not use it. Support
turning it off.
When disabled, also omit the load_elf_library implementation from
binfmt_elf.c, which only uselib invokes.

+ This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
+ dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
+ system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
+ earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
+ running glibc can safely disable this.
