elf core dump: notes user_regset
This modifies the ELF core dump code under #ifdef CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. It changes nothing when this macro is not defined. When it's #define'd by some arch header (e.g. asm/elf.h), the arch must support the user_regset (linux/regset.h) interface for reading thread state. This provides an alternate version of note segment writing that is based purely on the user_regset interfaces. When CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, the arch need not define macros such as ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_ARCH. All that information is taken from the user_regset data structures. The core dumps come out exactly the same if arch's definitions for its user_regset details are correct.
