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. Review URL: http://breakpad.appspot.com/343001 git-svn-id: http://google-breakpad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@905 4c0a9323-5329-0410-9bdc-e9ce6186880e
