uapi/auxvec: Define AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 aux vector, entries
The powerpc toolchain keeps a copy of the HWCAP bit masks in the TCB
for fast access by the __builtin_cpu_supports() built-in function. The
TCB space for the HWCAP entries - which are created in pairs - is an ABI
extension, so waiting to create the space for HWCAP3 and HWCAP4 until
they are needed is problematic. Define AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 in the
generic uapi header so they can be used in glibc to reserve space in the
powerpc TCB for their future use.
I scanned through the Linux and GLIBC source codes looking for unused
AT_* values and 29 and 30 did not seem to be used, so they are what I
went with.
