libc/powerpc64: Fix swapcontext(3)

On PowerPC platforms a valid link to the Table of Contents (TOC) is
required for PLT lookups to function. This TOC pointer is stored in
a dedicated register, and is used along with the stack pointer by both
C prologue and PLT lookup code.

When calling swapcontext() with uc_link != NULL, a PLT lookup to
setcontext(3) is attempted from within the _ctx_done context. The
exiting process has usually trashed both r1 and r2 at this point,
leading to a crash within the PLT lookup before setcontext(2) is
reached to restore the linked context.

Save and restore r2 as in a regular function. This ensures the
subsequent PLT lookup to setcontext(3) succeeds.

[POWERPC] Fix ppc64 makecontext() parameter overflow handling.

On ELFv2, the overflow parameters in the stack frame are at a different offset
from sp than ELFv1. Adjust code to use the correct offset in all cases.

This had resulted in argv[8] and up being copied to the incorrect address
in the new context's initial stack frame.

This is not necessarily the only bug in this function, I need to do a full
review still and ensure the rest of the math is sane for ELFv2 stack frames.

libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
