Summary: Included VSX registers in powerpc core dumps (both kernel and gcore)

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
The core note matches the format and layout of NT_ARM_VFP on Linux.
Debuggers use the AT_HWCAP flags to determine how many VFP registers
are actually used and their format.

Process core notes for a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit host need to
use 32-bit structures so that the note layout matches the layout of notes
of a core dump of a 32-bit process under a 32-bit kernel.

In the kernel, cache the machine and flags fields from ELF header to use in
the ELF header of a core dump. For gcore, the copy these fields over from
the ELF header in the binary.
This matters for platforms which encode ABI information in the flags field
(such as o32 vs n32 on MIPS).

A follow-up to r303099, D7255. Basically, apply the exact same change, with
the exact same rationale, to gcore. gcore's elfcore.c is largely a clone of
the kernel imgact_elf coredump facility.

When threads were added to the kernel, the pr_pid member of the
NT_PRSTATUS note was repurposed to store LWP IDs instead of process
IDs. However, the process ID was no longer recorded in core dumps.
This change adds a pr_pid field to prpsinfo (NT_PRSINFO). Rather than
bumping the prpsinfo version number, note parsers can use the note's
payload size to determine if pr_pid is present.

Use size of destination buffer, rather than a constant that may or may not
correspond to the source buffer, to restrict the length of copied strings. In
particular, pr_fname has 16+1 characters but MAXCOMLEN is 18+1.
Use strlcpy instead of strncpy to ensure the result is nul-terminated. This
seems to be what is expected of these fields.

- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

- Right now if segments are not writable are not included. Remove this.
- Right now if a segment is mapped with NOCORE the check is not honoured.
Change this by checking the newly added flag, from libutil,
KVME_FLAG_NOCOREDUMP.
Besides that, add a new flag (-f) that forces a 'full' dump of all the
segments excluding just the malformed ones. This might be used very
carefully as, among the reported segments, there could be memory
mapped areas that could be vital to program execution.

specific sysctls and ptrace interfaces.
This change switches a bit gcore POLA that is summarized here:
- now gcore can recognize threads within the process and handle dumps
on thread-scope
- the process to be analyzed will be stopped during its gcore run
- gcore may not work with processes which are actively being analyzed
by gdb or truss
- the ptrace interface may cause syscalls to return EINTR, thus
interferring with signals handling within the process
Side note: <janitor task> the interface can be further lifted in order to
get rid of the very last procfs interfaces remnants and made more
suitable for copying with sysctl/ptrace interface </janitor task>.

maintainers.
After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

The map file is a terrible hodge-podge. The fields that are used
mainly for kernel debugging should be moved out of it into a
separate file, so that the interface presented by the map file to
