x86: Deprecate a.out support
Linux supports ELF binaries for ~25 years now. a.out coredumping has bitrotten quite significantly and would need some fixing to get it into shape again but considering how even the toolchains cannot create a.out executables in its default configuration, let's deprecate a.out support and remove it a couple of releases later, instead.
