[PATCH RESEND] elf: add AT_ARGV and AT_ENVV auxiliary vector entries

["Alexandra Hájková" <ahajkova@redhat.com>]

Add AT_ARGV (52), which contains the address of the argv pointer
array on the initial process stack, and AT_ENVV (53), which contains
the address of the envp pointer array.

The motivation is to allow GDB to find argv and envp in core dumps
cleanly. Currently GDB locates them by scanning backwards through
stack memory from AT_EXECFN, which is fragile. With AT_ARGV and
AT_ENVV it can read the addresses directly from the core dump's
auxv note.
