elf: Add powerpc specific core note sections
This patch adds twelve ELF core note sections for powerpc architecture for various registers and register sets which need to be accessed from ptrace interface and then gdb. These additions include special purpose registers like TAR, PPR, DSCR, TM running and checkpointed state for various register sets, EBB related register set, performance monitor register set etc. Addition of these new ELF core note sections extends the existing ELF ABI on powerpc arch without affecting it in any manner.
