powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumps
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.
