elf: Expose ELF header in compat_start_thread()

Like it is done for SET_PERSONALITY with x86, which requires the ELF header
to select correct personality parameters, x86 requires the headers on
compat_start_thread() to choose starting CS for ELF32 binaries, instead of
relying on the going-away TIF_IA32/X32 flags.

Add an indirection macro to ELF invocations of START_THREAD, that x86 can
reimplement to receive the extra parameter just for ELF files.  This
requires no changes to other architectures who don't need the header
information, they can continue to use the original start_thread for ELF and
non-ELF binaries, and it prevents affecting non-ELF code paths for x86.
