elf: Unconditionally use __ehdr_start

We can consider __ehdr_start (from binutils 2.23 onwards)
unconditionally supported, since configure.ac requires binutils>=2.25.

The configure.ac check is related to an ia64 bug fixed by binutils 2.24.
See https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2014-August/053503.html

Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. Tested build-many-glibcs.py with
aarch64-linux-gnu and s390x-linux-gnu.
