Previous commits save the address of the auxiliary vector into a global
variable @_auxv. This commit creates a new function 'getauxval()' as a
helper function to get the auxv value based on the given key.

The behavior of this function is identic with the function documented
in 'man 3 getauxval'. This function is also needed to implement
'getpagesize()' function that we will wire up in the next patches.
