Michael Kerrisk suggested that, from an API perspective, it is a bad
idea to share the PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ defines between the prctl operation
and the selector variable. Therefore, define two new constants to be
used by SUD's selector variable, and the corresponding documentation.
While this changes the API, it is backward compatible, as the values
remained the same and the old defines are still in place. In addition,
SUD has never been part of a Linux release, it will show up for the
first time in 5.11.
