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 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.
