After r1299, the LinuxCoreDumperTest::VerifyDumpWithMultipleThreads and
ElfCoreDumpTest::ValidCoreFile would both hang on Android. This appears to be due to the tkill
signal not being recieved by the thread which is meant to crash, even though tkill returns 0.
This CL retries sending the tkill signal multiple times, which prevents the Hang.

The current CreateChildCrash logic is racy when it comes to creating a
crash dump for two reasons:
The main thread that calls kill() on a different thread is guaranteed
the signal will be *queued* when it returns, but not *delivered*. If
the kernel doesn't automatically schedule the receiving thread, but
instead lets the main thread run to the exit() call, then the signal
never triggers a coredump and the whole process simply exits.
The main thread is using kill() to try to deliver a signal to a
specific thread, but that function is for sending signals to a
process. That means the kernel is free to deliver the signal to
any thread in the process and not just the one requested. This
manifests itself as the pr_pid in the coredump not being the one
expected. Instead, we must use tkill() with the tid (which we
already took care of gathering) to deliver to a specific thread.
These are a lot easier to see on a UMP system as contention is heavier.

This patch contains the source-related fixes to ensure that
the Breakpad unit tests build properly when targetting Android.
Calling 'make check' still fails because there is still no
way to run the unit test programs on a device. This will be
addressed by a future patch.
Important notes:
- You must target Android API level 9 (Gingerbread) or higher
to build the unit tests. This requirement is due to the
current GTest revision used in the breakpad source tree.
- This patch adds headers providing inlined C library functions
missing from the NDK (see src/common/android/testing). They
are inlined to avoid modifying Makefile.am and other build
files.
- Similarly, the <wchar.h> header-fix under
src/common/android/testing/include is only required by
GTest's current revision. E.g. it's not needed when building
Breakpad as part of Chromium which uses a more up-to-date
revision.

This patch is taken from the downstream version of breakpad in
Chromium OS: https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/15148
LinuxCoreDumperTest previously assumes the proc files of the child
process created by CrashGenerator::CreateChildCrash() have the same
content as its parent process, which may not be true. This CL modifies
CrashGenerator to copy the proc files of the child process, created by
CreateChildCrash(), before crashing that process.

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.

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.

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. Add an ElfCoreDump class for processing Linux core dump files, which will
later be used to implement the core dump to minidump conversion.
2. Add a CrashGenerator class for generating a crash with a core dump file
for testing the functionalities of ElfCoreDump.
3. Move some utility functions for reading/writing files to file_utils.h.
