Commit Message

Matthieu Longo July 27, 2026, 5:28 p.m. UTC 
  Add linux_get_hwcap3 and linux_get_hwcap4 helpers to GDB and gdbserver,
mirroring the existing linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 interfaces.

The new helpers retrieve the AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4 auxiliary vector
entry either from explicitly supplied auxv data or from the current
inferior.

This prepares for future features that depend on HWCAP3 and HWCAP4
capability bits.
