Changes since v1
----------------

Requested by Alex Bennée:

* Add cross-reference from sigcontext.h to the description of VL/VQ.

Other:

* [ABI fix] Bail out with -EIO if attempting to set the SVE regs for an
unsupported VL, rather than misparsing the regset data.

* Document detection of SVE via CPUID MRS.

* Remove comment about coredump notes being padded for NT_ARM_SVE.
This is no longer the case with variable-size regsets supported
in the core code.

* Fix a missing bullet char
