MIPS: kernel: elf: Improve the overall ABI and FPU mode checks

The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations
and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the
wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as
the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object.
This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A.
The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines
the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has
the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU
mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code
simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS
option.

help
The hybrid FPR scheme is normally used only when a program needs to
execute a mix of FP32 & FP64A code, since the trapping & emulation
that it entails is expensive. When enabled, this option will lead
to the kernel running programs which use the FP32 & FPXX FP ABIs
using the hybrid FPR scheme, which can be useful for debugging
purposes.
If unsure, say N.
