bfd/ELF: Handle prstatus of 156 bytes in elf32_arm_nabi_grok_prstatus

Browse Source 
For a corefile generated on openSUSE Leap 15.2 armv7l with linux version
5.3.18, we get:
...
$ gdb -q --core core
  ...
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/rs_scope -d'.

⚠️ warning: Couldn't find general-purpose registers in core file.
(gdb)
...

The warning is emitted because the pseudo-section .reg is missing, because
elf32_arm_nabi_grok_prstatus expects the PRSTATUS note to have size 148, but
instead we have:
...
$ eu-readelf -n core | grep -i prstatus
  CORE                 156  PRSTATUS
  CORE                 156  PRSTATUS
  CORE                 156  PRSTATUS
  CORE                 156  PRSTATUS
...

This is a bug for CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC=y configurations, fixed
by v5.9 linux kernel commit 16aead81018c ("take fdpic-related parts of
elf_prstatus out").

The bug causes the FDPIC-specific unsigned long fields pr_exec_fdpic_loadmap
and pr_interp_fdpic_loadmap to be added to struct elf_prstatus in case the
FDPIC ABI is not used.

Work around this bug in elf32_arm_nabi_grok_prstatus, by ignoring the extra
fields, which gets us instead:
...
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/rs_scope -d'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Current thread is 1 (LWP 30047)]
(gdb)
...

Tested gdb, gas, binutils and ld on x86_64-linux and arm-linux with
--enable-targets=all.
