benchan@chromium.org 30566abed8 Implement core dump to minidump conversion.
This patch is part of a bigger patch that helps merging the breakpad code
with the modified version in Chromium OS.

Specifically, this patch makes the following changes:
1. Turn the LinuxDumper class into a base class and move ptrace related
   code into a new derived class, LinuxPtraceDumper.
2. Add a LinuxCoreDumper class, which is derived from LinuxDumper, to
   extract information from a crashed process via a core dump file instead
   of ptrace.
3. Add a WriteMinidumpFromCore function to
     src/client/linux/minidump_writer/minidump_writer.h,
   which uses LinuxCoreDumper to extract information from a core dump file.
4. Add a core2md utility, which simply wraps WriteMinidumpFromCore, for
   converting a core dump to a minidump.

BUG=455
TEST=Tested the following:
1. Build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux with gcc 4.4.3 and gcc 4.6.
2. Build on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with gcc 4.2 and clang 3.0 (with latest gmock).
3. All unit tests pass.
4. Run Chromium OS tests to test core2md.

Getting started in 32-bit mode (from trunk)
Configure: CXXFLAGS=-m32 CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
    Build: make
     Test: make check
  Install: make install

If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run "make distclean" first.

To request change review:
0. Get access to a read-write copy of source.
   Owners at http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/ are able to grant
   this access.

1. Check out a read-write copy of source using instructions at
   http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/source/checkout

2. Make changes. Build and test your changes.
   For core code like processor use methods above.
   For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.

3. Download http://codereview.appspot.com/static/upload.py

4. Run upload.py from the 'src' directory:
   upload.py --server=breakpad.appspot.com

   You will be prompted for credential and a description.

5. At http://breakpad.appspot.com you'll find your issue listed; click on it,
   and select Publish+Mail, and enter in the code reviewer and CC
   google-breakpad-dev@googlegroups.com

6. When applying code review feedback, specify the '-i' option when running
   upload.py again and pass the issue number so it updates the existing issue,
   rather than creating a new one.
   Be sure to rerun upload.py from the same directory as you did for previous
   uploads to allow for proper diff calculations.
