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!

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

     8       You probably want to say 'y' here if you plan to use your compiler
     9       to build bootloaders. It is not yet suitable to build Linux kernels,
    10       though, because the APCI stuff relies on the target C library headers
    11       being available?!?!...
