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.
