Do not build biosdecode, ownership and vpddecode on IA-64, as IA-64

systems have no BIOS. This was quite tricky to keep both GNU make and BSD
make happy, but it seems that I finally succeeded.

 ** MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS **
 
 Three other tools come along with dmidecode: biosdecode, ownership and
-vpddecode.
+vpddecode. These tools are only useful on systems with a BIOS, so they
+are not built on IA-64 by default.
