FEXLoader: Drop the binfmt_misc I flag

Upstream has rejected this flag which would have let FEX close the gap
in functionality between binfmt_misc interpreters and PT_INTERP
interpreters for how `/proc/exe` is handled. Since we are unable to
change their opinions, just remove the code from FEX since it's never
going to happen.

Removes a little bit of confusing behaviour in execveat and
filemanagement handling. Leaving us with only the regular confusing
behaviour of trying to track accesses to `/proc/exe` instead.
