configure: Disable building libcrypt by default

We mentioned eventual dropping of libcrypt in the 2.28 NEWS.  Actually
put that plan in motion by first disabling building libcrypt by default.
note in NEWS that the library will be dropped completely in a future
release.

Also add a couple of builds into build-many-glibcs.py.

Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* libcrypt is no longer built by default, one may use the --enable-crypt
option to build libcrypt. libcrypt is likely to be removed from the
GNU C Library in a future release, so it is recommended that
applications port away from it to an alternative such as libxcrypt.
* In the Linux kernel for the hppa/parisc architecture some of the
MADV_XXX constants were changed to have the same values as the other
