Factor out the resilient e_machine reading code in dso so that it may
be used in thread. As there is no dso in that case, make the dso
optional. This makes some minor other changes as the swap type from
the dso cannot be ascertained.

The e_flags are needed to accurately compute complete perf register
information for CSKY. Add the ability to read and have this value
associated with a thread. This change doesn't wire up the use of the
e_flags except in disasm where use already exists but just wasn't set
up yet.

CSKY needs the e_flags to determine the ABI level and know whether
additional registers are encoded or not. Wire this up now that the
e_flags for a thread can be determined.

Wire up the e_flags now it can be read for a thread. The e_flags
encode the CSKY ABI level and this can impact which perf registers
need setting up for unwinding.
