binutils/sstrip: remove

sstrip has been obsoleted for a while now, as it's still broken
for some archs, and there seems to be no incentive to fix it
upstream. Besides, the space gained with sstrip is marginal at
best.

-      The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
-      (executables and libraries).
-      
-      Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
-      This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
-      Supports big-endian systems.
-      
-      NOTE! Please read.
-        sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
-        shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
-        does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
