On a zEC12 or z13, a glibc with lock elision enabled infers from HWCAP

that the prerequisites for lock elision are met.  Then it may use TBEGIN

and other transactional-execution instructions which are not implemented

by Valgrind.  Likewise, the upcoming glibc 2.23 will exploit vector

instructions if they are advertised by HWCAP; and those are currently

not implemented by Valgrind either.  In general, the increased use of

ifunc may lead to more such cases in the future.

This patch suppresses the advertising of those hardware features via

HWCAP which are either not known to Valgrind or currently unsupported.

Patch by Andreas Arnez (arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com).

Fixes BZ #353680.

 - Some gcc versions use mvc to copy 4/8 byte values. This will affect

   certain debug messages. For example, memcheck will complain about

   4 one-byte reads/writes instead of just a single read/write.
