gdb: amd64 linux coredump support with shadow stack.
Intel's Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) provides the shadow
stack feature for the x86 architecture.
This commit adds support to write and read the shadow-stack node in
corefiles. This helps debugging return address violations post-mortem.
The format is synced with the linux kernel commit "x86: Add PTRACE
interface for shadow stack". As the linux kernel restricts shadow
stack support to 64-bit, apply the fix for amd64 only.
