[klibc] README.klibc: Update note about building compat user-space

- The list of 64-bit architectures that can have a 32-bit user-space
  was outdated.  ia64 hasn't supported compat mode since Linux 2.6.27,
  while arm64 does support it.  Rather than trying to keep this list
  up-to-date, delete it.

- There hasn't been a linux/include/asm symlink since Linux 2.6.30,
  so delete the reference to that.

- The 64-bit ports of klibc are widely used.  For example, Debian and
  its derivatives have always used native builds of klibc on amd64 and
  arm64.  So delete the statement that compat user-space is likely
  better-tested.
