kbuild: drop shared library support from Makefile.host

The shared library feature in Makefile.host is no longer used.
Rip it off to keep the build infrastucture simple.

Update Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt too.
The section "4.3 Definition shared libraries" should be removed
and the following sections should be re-numbered.

---- 4.3 Defining shared libraries
-
-	Objects with extension .so are considered shared libraries, and
-	will be compiled as position independent objects.
-	Kbuild provides support for shared libraries, but the usage
-	shall be restricted.
-	In the following example the libkconfig.so shared library is used
-	to link the executable conf.
-
-	Example:
-		#scripts/kconfig/Makefile
-		hostprogs-y     := conf
-		conf-objs       := conf.o libkconfig.so
-		libkconfig-objs := expr.o type.o
-
-	Shared libraries always require a corresponding -objs line, and
-	in the example above the shared library libkconfig is composed by
-	the two objects expr.o and type.o.
-	expr.o and type.o will be built as position independent code and
-	linked as a shared library libkconfig.so. C++ is not supported for
-	shared libraries.
