[PATCH v4] Generate NT_PROCSTAT_{AUXV,VMMAP,PS_STRINGS} in FreeBSD coredumps

gcore generates NT_AUXV and NT_FILE notes for Linux targets. On
FreeBSD auxv is stored in a NT_PROCSTAT_AUXV section, file mappings
are stored in a NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP and both are prefixed with the
struct size.

2018-08-23  Simon Ser  <contact@emersion.fr>
        * target.h (enum target_object): add FreeBSD-specific
        TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_VMMAP and TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_PS_STRINGS
        * fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_nat_target::xfer_partial): add support for
        TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_VMMAP and TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_PS_STRINGS
        * fbsd-tdep.c (fbsd_make_corefile_notes): write NT_PROCSTAT_AUXV,
        NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP and NT_PROCSTAT_PS_STRINGS notes
---

Changes from v3 to v4:
- Fixed indentation
- Always read with a large enough buffer
- Remove unused includes in fbsd-tdep.c
- "File mappings" → "Virtual memory mappings"

Tried to fix all indentation issues, let me know if I forgot some. I
haven't found out the magic incantation to convince vim to use this
indentation style for this project (yet).

I also rewrote the sysctl code. I think fixing the auxv code belongs to
another patch.
