uapi/auxvec: Define AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 aux vector, entries
The powerpc toolchain keeps a copy of the HWCAP bit masks in the TCB for fast access by the __builtin_cpu_supports() built-in function. The TCB space for the HWCAP entries - which are created in pairs - is an ABI extension, so waiting to create the space for HWCAP3 and HWCAP4 until they are needed is problematic. Define AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 in the generic uapi header so they can be used in glibc to reserve space in the powerpc TCB for their future use. I scanned through the Linux and GLIBC source codes looking for unused AT_* values and 29 and 30 did not seem to be used, so they are what I went with.
