a.out: Remove the a.out implementation

In commit 19e8b70 ("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. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/871qrx3hq3.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

-	  A.out (Assembler.OUTput) is a set of formats for libraries and

-
-	  The conversion to ELF started in 1995.  This option is primarily
-	  provided for historical interest and for the benefit of those

-
-	  Most people should answer N here.  If you think you may have
-	  occasional use for this format, enable module support above
-	  and answer M here to compile this support as a module called
-	  binfmt_aout.
-
-	  If any crucial components of your system (such as /sbin/init
-	  or /lib/ld.so) are still in a.out format, you will have to
