s390: add ELF note type for encrypted CPU state of a PV VCPU

Browse Source 
The type NT_S390_PV_CPU_DATA note contains the encrypted CPU state of
a PV VCPU. It's only relevant in dumps of s390 PV VMs and can't be
decrypted without a second block of encrypted data which provides key
parts. Therefore we only reserve the note type here.

The zgetdump tool from the s390-tools package can, together with a
Customer Communication Key, be used to convert a PV VM dump into a
normal VM dump. zgetdump will decrypt the CPU data and overwrite the
other respective notes to make the data accessible for crash and other
debugging tools.
