[PATCH/RFA]: New architecture method: regset_from_core_section

[Mark Kettenis <kettenis@chello.nl>]

This adds a new architecture method that returns a register set
definition based on the name and size of a core file section that we
get from BFD.  We had an eleborate discussion on this a while ago, and
in my opinion reached consesus on the approach, so I've checked the
code bits in.  Eli, are the doc bits OK?

The future might bring us regset_from_remote and perhaps
regset_from_ptrace_request.  We'll see.
