There is currently hard-coded logic spread around the tree for
determining the note name for regset notes emitted in coredumps.
Now that the names are declared explicitly in <uapi/elf.h>, this can be
simplified.
In preparation for getting rid of the special-case logic, add an
explicit core_note_name field in struct user_regset for specifying the
note name explicitly. To help avoid mistakes, a convenience macro
USER_REGSET_NOTE_TYPE() is provided to set .core_note_type and
.core_note_name based on the note type.
When dumping core, use the new field to set the note name, if the
regset specifies it.
