 Modified Files:
 	src/include: Makefile
 	src/sys/sys: Makefile
 Added Files:
 	src/include: elf.h
 
 Log Message:
 Implement an up to date and cross-platform <elf.h> for userland use.
 
 With this change:
 
 - Elftoolchain's <sys/elfdefinitions.h> is used for the definitions
   that make up the ELF gABI and its processor-specific ABI
   supplements.
 
 - Existing NetBSD-local definitions are brought in via
   the kernel header <sys/exec_elf.h>, for continuity.
 
 This changeset prepares the ground for migrating userland-only
 definitions out of the kernel header, for better separation
 of concerns.
 
 This changeset also eases the development of cross-architecture
 ELF tools since <elf.h> now offers ELF-related constants for all
 of the architectures that NetBSD currently supports.
