um: Drop support for hosts without SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support

These features have existed since Linux 2.6.14 and can be considered
widely available at this point. Also drop the backward compatibility
code for PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.

v2:
 * Continue to define PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP as glibc only added it in
   version 2.27.
