powerpc/44x: Remove STDBINUTILS kconfig option

STDBINUTILS is just a toggle to allow 256k page size to appear in the
possible page sizes list for the 44x.

Make 256k page size option appear all the time with an explicit
warning about binutils, and remove this unnecessary STDBINUTILS
config option.

Turning this option off allows you to select 256KB PAGE_SIZE on 44x.
Note, that kernel will be able to run only those applications,
which had been compiled using binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with
'-zmax-page-size' set to 256K (the default is 64K). Or, if using
the older binutils, you can patch them with a trivial patch, which
changes the ELF_MAXPAGESIZE definition from 0x10000 to 0x40000.

Make the page size 256k. Make the page size 256k.
As the ELF standard only requires alignment to support page The kernel will only be able to run applications that have been
