ptrace: make PTRACE_SEIZE set ptrace options specified in 'data' para…

This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.

While we are at it:

Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter.  To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero.  PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there...  let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.

Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops.  This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.

Changes since v2: use (unsigned long) casts instead of (long) ones, move
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL-related code to separate lines of code.
