Confirm that PR 132428 is merged, then inspect ElfObjectWriter.cs and its dependencies in ILCompiler.ReadyToRun.csproj. Remove the unused source and dependency entries from the project, and verify that crossgen2 still builds successfully without them.

Description

area-ReadyToRun

After https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/132428 is merged, we should be able to move ElfObjectWriter.cs and it's dependencies from ILCompiler.ReadyToRun.csproj. It isn't used and is just dead code.
