Ensure that the aux table is properly initialized, even when optional
features are missing. Without this, the FDPIC loader did not work.

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.
What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

The SET_PERSONALITY macro is always called with a second argument of 0.
Remove the ibcs argument and the various tests to set the PER_SVR4
personality.

These have been using overrides for ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS while the generic versions can be used instead.
Presently the pt_regs are also duplicated across elf_core_copy_regs()
and elf_core_copy_task_regs(), this switches to simply copying out
through elf_core_copy_regs() instead.

This follows the sparc changes a439fe51a1.
Most of the moving about was done with Sam's directions at:

with subsequent hacking and fixups entirely my fault.
