elf: Do not read hwcaps from the vDSO in ld.so

This was only ever used for the "nosegneg" flag.  This approach for
passing hardware capability information creates a subtle dependency
between the kernel and userspace, and ld.so.cache contents.  It seems
inappropriate for toady, where people expect to be able to run
system images which very different kernel versions.
