[PowerPC] Consolidate linux vector regset sizes

This patch defines constants for the sizes of the two vector
regsets (vector-scalar registers and regular vector registers).

The native, gdbserver and core file targets are changed to use these
constants.

The Linux ptrace calls return (or read) a smaller regset than the one
found in core files for vector registers, because ptrace uses a single
4-byte quantity for vrsave at the end of the regset, while the
core-file regset uses a full 16-byte field for vrsave. For simplicity,
the larger size is used in both cases, and so a buffer with 12 unused
additional bytes is passed to ptrace in the native target.
