lib: disable xref ELF note on mips64el
mips64el does not have a 64-bit PC-relative relocation, which is needed to emit the ELF note for xrefs. Disabling the ELF note means clippy takes the fallback path using section headers, so everything does still work (... unless you strip the section headers.)
