Add a new configuration option CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT to configure support
for interpreted scripts starting with "#!"; allow compiling out that
support, or building it as a module. Embedded systems running
exclusively compiled binaries could leave this support out, and systems
that don't need scripts before mounting the root filesystem can build
this as a module.

Note when testing this that many shells implement support for shell
scripts themselves, so try it with something like #!/bin/cat instead.
