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.

- Define __HAVE_REG32 on platforms that define a reg32 structure and check
for this in <sys/procfs.h> to control when to export prstatus32, etc.
- Add prstatus32_t and prpsinfo32_t typedefs for the 32-bit structures.
libbfd looks for these types, and having them fixes 'gcore' in gdb of a
32-bit process on a 64-bit platform.
- Use the structure definitions from <sys/procfs.h> in gcore's elf32 core
dump code instead of duplicating the definitions.

- 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).

thread specific informations.
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>.

32 bit int descriptor (%x). The upper bytes of the 64 bit vm_offset_t
variables (for little endian machines) were uninitialized. For big endian
machines, things would have been worse because it was storing the 32 bit
value in the upper half of the 64 bit variable. I've changed it to use
%lx and long types. That should work on all our platforms.
