Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of every
xfeature that is present.

This information will be used by debuggers to understand the XSAVE layout of
the machine where the core file has been dumped, and to read XSAVE registers,
especially during cross-platform debugging.

The XSAVE layouts of modern AMD and Intel CPUs differ, especially since
Memory Protection Keys and the AVX-512 features have been inculcated into
the AMD CPUs.

Since AMD never adopted (and hence never left room in the XSAVE layout for)
the Intel MPX feature, tools like GDB had assumed a fixed XSAVE layout
matching that of Intel (based on the XCR0 mask).

Hence, core dumps from AMD CPUs didn't match the known size for the XCR0 mask.
This resulted in GDB and other tools not being able to access the values of
the AVX-512 and PKRU registers on AMD CPUs.

To solve this, an interim solution has been accepted into GDB, and is already
a part of GDB 14, see

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-March/198081.html.

But it depends on heuristics based on the total XSAVE register set size
and the XCR0 mask to infer the layouts of the various register blocks
for core dumps, and hence, is not a foolproof mechanism to determine the
layout of the XSAVE area.

Therefore, add a new core dump note in order to allow GDB/LLDB and other
relevant tools to determine the layout of the XSAVE area of the machine where
the corefile was dumped.

The new core dump note (which is being proposed as a per-process .note
section), NT_X86_XSAVE_LAYOUT (0x205) contains an array of structures.

Each structure describes an individual extended feature containing
offset, size and flags in this format:

  struct x86_xfeat_component {
         u32 type;
         u32 size;
         u32 offset;
         u32 flags;
  };

and in an independent manner, allowing for future extensions without depending
on hw arch specifics like CPUID etc.
