a.out: Remove the a.out implementation
In commit 19e8b701e258 ("a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on
alpha and m68k") the last users of a.out were disabled.
As nothing has turned up to cause this change to be reverted, let's
remove the code implementing a.out support as well.
There may be userspace users of the uapi bits left so the uapi
headers have been left untouched.
