Patches 1 and 2 update the vDSO reference parser.

Despite the late submission, this might be 3.16 material: it's just
documentation.  If I'd been more on top of this, I would have done it
for 3.15.  It's also probably worthwhile given that there is at least
one rather buggy vDSO parser in the wild.

Patch 3 makes "Hello world" as built by Go stop segfaulting.  It's
a performance regression for Go programs: it causes them to stop
finding any symbols in the vDSO, but that's a lot better than
segfaulting.

Changes from v1:
 - Improve portability of the vdso parser.
 - Add an explicit ELFCLASS check in the vdso parser (why not?).
 - Fix x32 build.
 - Add a comment describing what the hack works around, why, and where the
   Go bug was introduced.
