libct/seccomp: enable binary tree optimization

This makes libseccomp produce a BPF which uses a binary tree for
syscalls (instead of linear set of if statements).

It does not make sense to enable binary tree for small set of rules,
so don't do that if we have less than 8 syscalls (the number is chosen
arbitrarily).
