Skip ElfCoreDumpTest.ValidCoreFile test if no core dump is generated.

CrashGenerator::CreateChildCrash() may have some flakiness. This patch
changes ElfCoreDumpTest to temporarily skip the ValidCoreFile test if
no core dump is generated by CrashGenerator::CreateChildCrash(), but
print out the error message to help debug the flakiness.

BUG=chromium-os:24982
TEST=Tested the following:
1. Build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux with gcc 4.6.
2. All unit tests pass.
