util: Deprecate `syscall_prefix`

Using the prefix only for the host architecture is often not enough,
kernels usually provide symbols for more architectures, which are
used by multilib applications. Handling them might or might not be
necessary depending on the use case. Due to that complexity, we
decided to let the callers to handle prefixes the way they prefer.
