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>.

file so that we have a chance of using gcore on non-i386 platforms. Use
linker sets to reduce the registration glue. Remove md-sparc.c, we do not
have an a.out sparc32 port. aoutcore.c was repocopied from gcore.c.
Add some constness to avoid some warnings.
Remove use register keyword.
Deal with missing/unneeded extern/prototypes.
Some minor type changes/casts to avoid warnings.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

* consumers of elf.h now use the minimalist elf header possible.
This change is motivated by Binutils 2.11.0 and too much clashing over
our base elf headers and the Binutils elf headers.
no longer contains kernel specific data structures, but rather
only scalar values and structures that are already part of the
kernel/user interface, specifically rusage and rtprio. It no
longer contains proc, session, pcred, ucred, procsig, vmspace,
pstats, mtx, sigiolst, klist, callout, pasleep, or mdproc. If
any of these changed in size, ps, w, fstat, gcore, systat, and
top would all stop working. The new structure has over 200 bytes
of unassigned space for future values to be added, yet is nearly
100 bytes smaller per entry than the structure that it replaced.
If it is ELF, print a diagnostic saying that it is not supported yet
by this program. This is a stop-gap anti-bug-report measure because
it looks like there won't be time to implement gcore's ELF support
before 3.0 is released.
not equal, the command line arguments are wrong. E.g.:
$./gcore /bin/sh 1761
$ ./gcore /usr/tmp/chroot/bin/sh 1761
gcore: The executable /usr/tmp/chroot/bin/sh does not belong to process 1761!
