FreeBSD has used ELF binaries/libraries for decades, but still has some
support for legacy a.out binaries. Portions of this have been retired
over time, but support remained in ldd, ldconfig, and gprof.
Retire gprof support; if anyone needs to do development on a.out
binaries still they will be best served by installing a full FreeBSD 2.x
or other obsolete version in a jail.
Kernel support for executing a.out binaries is unchnaged.

* Remove identical or almost identical headers
* Only build aout.c on amd64 and i386. None of the the other current
architectures ever supported running a.out binaries
* Enable on all architectures

Add a missing riscv.h header file, and fix the check for riscv (must test
MACHINE_CPUARCH, not MACHINE_ARCH, if we want to use 'riscv').

On arm64, riscv, and s390x disable building of aout components.
This allows gprof to build on these architectures which never supported
the legacy a.out binary format.

the executable file, so it will work for both a.out and ELF format
files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
