linux-user: correct core dump format

This patch allows to really use the core dumped by qemu with guest
architecture tools.

- it adds a missing bswap_phdr() for the program headers
of memory regions.

"objdump -x" sample:

BEFORE:

0x1000000 off 0x00200000 vaddr 0x00000400 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**21
filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00100000 flags ---
0x1000000 off 0x00200000 vaddr 0x00100400 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**21
filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00080000 flags --- 6000000

AFTER:

LOAD off    0x00002000 vaddr 0x00040000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**13
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00001000 flags ---
    LOAD off    0x00002000 vaddr 0x00041000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**13
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00000800 flags rw-

- it doesn't pad the note size to sizeof(int32_t).
On m68k the NT_PRSTATUS note size is 154 and
must not be rounded up to 156, because this value is checked by
objdump and gdb.

"gdb" symptoms:
"warning: Couldn't find general-purpose registers in core file."
"objdump -x" sample:
