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 add a
flag to inform interpreter if the preserve-argv[0] is enabled.

Notes:
This can be tested with QEMU from my branch:
https://github.com/vivier/qemu/commits/binfmt-argv0
With something like:
# cp ..../qemu-ppc /chroot/powerpc/jessie
# qemu-binfmt-conf.sh --qemu-path / --systemd ppc --credential yes \
--persistent no --preserve-argv0 yes
# systemctl restart systemd-binfmt.service
# cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-ppc
enabled
interpreter //qemu-ppc
flags: POC
offset 0
magic 7f454c4601020100000000000000000000020014
mask ffffffffffffff00fffffffffffffffffffeffff
# chroot /chroot/powerpc/jessie sh -c 'echo $0'
sh
# qemu-binfmt-conf.sh --qemu-path / --systemd ppc --credential yes \
--persistent no --preserve-argv0 no
# systemctl restart systemd-binfmt.service
# cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/qemu-ppc
enabled
interpreter //qemu-ppc
flags: OC
offset 0
magic 7f454c4601020100000000000000000000020014
mask ffffffffffffff00fffffffffffffffffffeffff
# chroot /chroot/powerpc/jessie sh -c 'echo $0'
/bin/sh
v3: mix my patch with one from YunQiang Su and my comments on it
introduce a new flag in the uabi for the AT_FLAGS
v2: only pass special flags (remove Magic and Enabled flags)
