Currently, three tests FAIL on Solaris 11.4+ (amd64-pc-solaris2.11 and
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11):

FAIL: gdb.base/auxv.exp: info auxv on gcore-created dump

The following patch fixes this by introducing the missing AT_SUN_*
values from Solaris 11.4+ <sys/auxv.h>.  This lets the live and
gcore-created dump tests PASS.

I don't know yet what's the reason for those weird 'Unrecognized tag
value' warnings with native core dumps is; elfdump -n certainly doesn't
show them.  However, native core dumps still need quite some work
(mostly in bfd) in this and other areas.

Tested on amd64-pc-solaris2.11.  Ok for master?
