Implement x86 ptrace(2) requests PT_{GET,SET}{FS,GS}BASE.
MFC r284918: Add helper fill_based_sd(9). MFC r284919: Add x86 PT_GETFSBASE, PT_GETGSBASE machine-depended ptrace requests to obtain the thread %fs and %gs bases. Add x86 PT_SETFSBASE and PT_SETGSBASE requests to set the bases from debuggers. The set requests, similarly to the sysarch({I386,AMD64}_SET_FSBASE), override the corresponding segment registers. MFC r284965: Document x86 machine-specific ptrace(2) requests. MFC r285011: Disallow a debugger on 64bit system to set fs/gs bases of the 32bit process beyond the end of the process address space. MFC r285104: Grammar and language fixes.
