It can be useful to the interpreter to know which flags are in use.
For instance, knowing if the preserve-argv[0] is in use would
allow to skip the pathname argument.
This patch uses an unused auxiliary vector, AT_FLAGS, to pass the
content of the binfmt flags (special flags: P, F, C, O).

Notes:
v2: only pass special flags (remove Magic and Enabled flags)
