When LinuxCoreDumper fails to copy process data from a core file, it
fills the return buffer with a repeated sequence of a special marker.
However, MinidumpWriter doesn't know about that and may incorrectly
interpret the data. In many cases, MinidumpWriter simply copies the
gibberish data to the minidump, which isn't too bad. However, the
gibberish data may cause MinidumpWriter to behave badly in some other
cases. For example, when MinidumpWriter tries to iterate through the
linked list of all loaded DSOs via the r_map field of a r_debug struct,
if the linked list is filed with the special marker, the code keeps
iterating through the same address.
This CL addresses the issue by having LinuxCoreDumper::CopyFromProcess()
returns a Boolean value to indicate if the expected data is found from
the core file. MinidumpWriter can then decide how to handle that.

This is a refactoring of the logic which determines the
module name and path for a given MappingInfo in minidump_writer.cc.
Such logic, which will be soon shared also with the upcoming
microdump_writer.cc, is simply being moved to linux_dumper.cc,
extracting a GetMappingEffectiveNameAndPath method.
No behavioral change is intended.

This change is a pure refactoring of the common bits of minidump_writer.cc
that will be shared soon with the upcoming microdump_writer.cc.
In particular, this CL is extracting the following classes:
- ThreadInfo: handles the state of the threads in the crashing process.
- RawContextCPU: typedef for arch-specific CPU context structure.
- UContextReader: Fills out a dump RawContextCPU structure from the
ucontext struct provided by the kernel (arch-dependent).
- SeccompUnwinder: cleans out the stack frames of the Seccomp sandbox
on the supported architectures.
- MappingInfo: handles information about mappings

This patch makes two changes to breakpad to enable crash reporting to work correctly when the library is inside another file (an archive):
- Do not filter mappings which map an executable at a non-zero offset.
- If such an executable is mapped look in the ELF information for the
shared object name and use that name in the minidump.
Note this change doesn't care about the archive format and isn't Android
specific (though loading the shared library this way is currently only done on Android).

This is an initial attempt to add Arm64 (aarch64) support to Breakpad for
Linux / Android platforms. This CL adds the Arm64 data structures, but does
not yet implement the Android getcontext support or CPUFillFromThreadInfo /
CPUFillFromUContext.

Currently, if a thread's stack pointer is not within a valid memory page,
the minidump writing will fail with an error. This change allows an invalid
stack pointer by simply setting the memory size to zero in the minidump.
The processing code already checks for the size being zero, although it
currently just gives an error (see https://breakpad.appspot.com/413002/).

This patch remove many Android-specific #ifdefs from the Breakpad
source code. This is achieved by providing "fixed-up" platform
headers (e.g. <signal.h> or <sys/user,h>), in the new directory
src/common/android/include/, which masks differences between
the NDK and GLibc headers.
The old "android_link.h" and "android_ucontext.h" are moved
and renamed.
This also requires putting this directory as the first
include path during Android-hosted builds, hence the
modification of Makefile.am and configure.ac

The first module in a minidump is expected to be for the main executable.
We used to assume that /proc/<pid>/maps always showed that one first, but in
some cases that is no longer true (see comment #7 of the bug). So this
change makes use of the entry point stored in auxv to make sure we put the
correct module first.

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.

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 two convenient methods, back() and empty(), to the wasteful_vector
class.
2. Refactor the LinuxDumper class such that it can later be splitted into
a base class and two derived classes, one uses the current ptrace
implementation and one uses a core file.
3. Refactor the MinidumpWriter class such that it can later use different
derived implementations of LinuxDumper.
