elf: Remove prelink support
Prelinked binaries and libraries still work, the dynamic tags DT_GNU_PRELINKED, DT_GNU_LIBLIST, DT_GNU_CONFLICT just ignored (meaning the process is reallocated as default). The loader environment variable TRACE_PRELINKING is also removed, since it used solely on prelink. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
