linux-user: Support gdb 'qOffsets' query for ELF

This is needed to support debugging PIE ELF binaries running under QEMU
user mode. Currently, `code_offset` and `data_offset` remain unset for
all ELF binaries, so GDB is unable to correctly locate the position of
the binary's text and data.

The fields `code_offset`, and `data_offset` were originally added way
back in 2006 to support debugging of bFMT executables (978efd6aac6),
and support was just never added for ELF. Since non-PIE binaries are
loaded at exactly the address specified in the binary, GDB does not need
to relocate any symbols, so the buggy behavior is not normally observed.
