Remove a.out interpreter support in ELF loader
Following the deprecation schedule the a.out ELF interpreter support is removed now with this patch. a.out ELF interpreters were an transition feature for moving a.out systems to ELF, but they're unlikely to be still needed. Pure a.out systems will still work of course. This allows to simplify the hairy ELF loader.

102What: a.out interpreter support for ELF executables
103When: 2.6.25
104Files: fs/binfmt_elf.c
105Why: Using a.out interpreters for ELF executables was a feature for
106 transition from a.out to ELF. But now it is unlikely to be still
107 needed anymore and removing it would simplify the hairy ELF
108 loader code.
