1. [PAUTHABIELF64] Remove alternative ELF marking scheme …

   No implementation is using the alternative marking scheme; take
   the opportunity to remove it, so that toolchains do not need to
   support it.
   
   The alternative marking scheme started as the default one back
   when the spec was written. At the time there were only prototype
   implementations for which signing schema compatibility and
   versioning weren't important.
   
   Over time Arm's ELF marking for SysV has evolved such that the
   preference for ELF executables and shared-libraries is to use
   GNU Program Properties. We intend to migrate to Build Attributes
   for relocatable objects, but until that change is made GNU
   Program Properties should be used in relocatable objects too.
   
   The alternative ELF marking scheme was preserved for backwards
   compatibility, however no current implementation needs that so
   it can be removed.
