selftests/rseq: Introduce thread pointer getters

Browse source

This is done in preparation for the selftest uplift to become compatible
with glibc-2.35.

glibc-2.35 exposes the rseq per-thread data in the TCB, accessible
at an offset from the thread pointer.

The toolchains do not implement accessing the thread pointer on all
architectures. Provide thread pointer getters for ppc and x86 which
lack (or lacked until recently) toolchain support.
