RFC: raising minimum supported linux kernel version to v2.5.46

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Hi,

Do you think it's time to assume that PTRACE_SETOPTIONS and
PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD|PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC|PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE are
universally available and working?

If yes, then all code that supports post-execve SIGTRAP and implements
fork/vfork/clone->CLONE_PTRACE substitution could be removed.

The question essentially means whether new versions of strace
should work on linux kernels older than v2.5.46
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/11/4/213)?
