Implement x86 ptrace(2) requests PT_{GET,SET}{FS,GS}BASE.

MFC r284918:
Add helper fill_based_sd(9).

MFC r284919:
Add x86 PT_GETFSBASE, PT_GETGSBASE machine-depended ptrace requests to
obtain the thread %fs and %gs bases. Add x86 PT_SETFSBASE and
PT_SETGSBASE requests to set the bases from debuggers. The set
requests, similarly to the sysarch({I386,AMD64}_SET_FSBASE), override
the corresponding segment registers.

MFC r284965:
Document x86 machine-specific ptrace(2) requests.

MFC r285011:
Disallow a debugger on 64bit system to set fs/gs bases of the 32bit
process beyond the end of the process address space.

MFC r285104:
Grammar and language fixes.

MFC 274817,274878,276801,276840,278976:
Improve support for XSAVE with debuggers.
- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

MFC 273988,273989,273995,274057:
MFamd64: Add support for extended FPU states on i386. This includes
support for AVX on i386.
