libc: hide no-thread for those C libraries that do not support it

Building non-threaded glibc has been unsupported for a long time, now:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html

As eglibc is a spin-off of glibc: ditto.

So do not offer that possibility in the menuconfig.
Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for spotting, and helping to solve, the issue!

      'Bare metal' refers to those programs that run without any kernel.

      to build bootloaders. It is not yet suitable to build Linux kernels,

      though, because the APCI stuff relies on the target C library headers
