setcontext etc is no longer tied to the kernel use of ucontext.

in that patch the ucontext reserved space is not used consistently
with the kernel abi: the d8,d9 pair is saved in the slot of q8.

this is ok (*context functions work together), but probably not
desirable (ucontexts created by the kernel and getcontext are
subtly different).

the fix just replaces dN with qN in the save/restore code, which
does a bit more than needed (saves/restores the top half of qN that
is not callee saved), but this should not be an issue (and avoids
having to deal with endianness).

(kernel fpsimd context layout: the first 64bit contains 0x210 the fpsimd
context size and 0x46508001 the FPSIMD_MAGIC, the second 64bit is for
fpsr and fpcr, and the rest is the 128bit q0..q31 registers).

given d8=8.1, d9=9.1,... d15=15.1, the context created by getcontext is

current:

(this changes libc internal abi between *context functions,
i assume that should be ok).
