c/r: prctl: extend PR_SET_MM to set up more mm_struct entries
During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment data and auxiliary vector. So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector. For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START | ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.
