Subject: [RFC] binfmt_misc: pass binfmt_misc flags to the interpreter

It can be useful to the interpreter to know which flags are in use.

For instance, knowing if the preserve-argv[0] is in use would
allow to skip the pathname argument.

This patch uses an unused auxiliary vector, AT_FLAGS,  to pass the
content of the binfmt flags (bits for P, F, C, O, ...).
