uselib hasn't been used since libc5; glibc does not use it.
Deprecate uselib a bit more, by making the default y only
if libc5 was widely used on the plaform.

This makes arm64 kernel built with defconfig slightly smaller

v3: only depend on IA32_EMULATION to catch X86_64 with 32bit case
v2: Disable uselib on X86_64 if no 32bit support
