8aea2e5929 ast_coredumper: Refactor to better find things
The search for a running asterisk when --running is used
has been greatly simplified and in the event it doesn't
work, you can now specify a pid to use on the command
line with --pid.

The search for asterisk modules when --tarball-coredumps
is used has been enhanced to have a better chance of finding
them and in the event it doesn't work, you can now specify
--libdir on the command line to indicate the library directory
where they were installed.

The DATEFORMAT variable was renamed to DATEOPTS and is now
passed to the 'date' utility rather than running DATEFORMAT
as a command.

The coredump and output files are now renamed with DATEOPTS.
This can be disabled by specifying --no-rename.

Several confusing and conflicting options were removed:
--append-coredumps
--conffile
--no-default-search
--tarball-uniqueid

The script was re-structured to make it easier for follow.

2bf26ce5ac ast_coredumper: Fix output directory and variable precedence
The OUTPUTDIR variable in ast_debug_tools.conf.sample is now set
to "/tmp" instead of "/some/directory".

Variables set on the command line or that are already in the
environment now take predecence over variables set in the config files.

cf1cb3345e ast_coredumper: Add ability to use directory other than /tmp
The OUTPUTDIR environment variable can now be set either in the
environment itself or in ast_debug_tools.conf.  If set, it's used
for all work products instead of /tmp.

Also added the --tarball-config option that includes the contents
of /etc/asterisk when either --tarball-coredumps or --tarball-results
are used.

d16b3a9917 debug_utilities: Create ast_loggrabber
ast_loggrabber gathers log files from customizable search patterns,
optionally converts POSIX timestamps to a readable format and
tarballs the results.

Also a few tweaks were made to ast_coredumper.

0d53c91fba debug_utilities: Create the ast_coredumper utility
This utility allows easy manipulation of asterisk coredumps.

* Configurable search paths and patterns for existing coredumps
* Can generate a consistent coredump from the running instance
* Can dump the lock_infos table from a coredump
* Dumps backtraces to separate files...
  - thread apply 1 bt full -> <coredump>.thread1.txt
  - thread apply all bt -> <coredump>.brief.txt
  - thread apply all bt full -> <coredump>.full.txt
  - lock_infos table -> <coredump>.locks.txt
* Can tarball corefiles and optionally delete them after processing
* Can tarball results files and optionally delete them after processing
* Converts ':' in coredump and results file names '-' to facilitate
  uploading.  Jira for instance, won't accept file names with colons
  in them.

Tested on Fedora24+, Ubuntu14+, Debian6+, CentOS6+ and FreeBSD9+[1].

[1] For *BSDs, the "devel/gdb" package might have to be installed to
get a recent gdb.  The utility will check all instances of gdb
it finds in $PATH and if one isn't found that can run python, it
prints a friendly error.
