    linux: Fix usage of ptrace(PT_GET_SC_ARGS)
    
    The native handler expects the argument to be a pointer to an array of 8
    syscall arguments, whereas the emulation provided an array that holds up
    to 6.
    
    Handle this by adding a new range of Linuxulator-specific ptrace
    commands.  In particular, introduce PTLINUX_GET_SC_ARGS, which always
    copies exactly six arguments.  This fixes the problem and removes the
    hack of checking the target thread ABI to decide whether to apply a
    Linux-specific quirk to PT_GET_SC_ARGS.
