thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

default invokation):
- Right now if segments are not writable are not included. Remove this.
- Right now if a segment is mapped with NOCORE the check is not honoured.
Change this by checking the newly added flag, from libutil,
KVME_FLAG_NOCOREDUMP.
Besides that, add a new flag (-f) that forces a 'full' dump of all the
segments excluding just the malformed ones. This might be used very
carefully as, among the reported segments, there could be memory
mapped areas that could be vital to program execution.

specific sysctls and ptrace interfaces.
This change switches a bit gcore POLA that is summarized here:
- now gcore can recognize threads within the process and handle dumps
on thread-scope
- the process to be analyzed will be stopped during its gcore run
- gcore may not work with processes which are actively being analyzed
by gdb or truss
- the ptrace interface may cause syscalls to return EINTR, thus
interferring with signals handling within the process
Side note: <janitor task> the interface can be further lifted in order to
get rid of the very last procfs interfaces remnants and made more
suitable for copying with sysctl/ptrace interface </janitor task>.

using sscanf and truncating the start/end entries by writing them with a
32 bit int descriptor (%x). The upper bytes of the 64 bit vm_offset_t
variables (for little endian machines) were uninitialized. For big endian
machines, things would have been worse because it was storing the 32 bit
value in the upper half of the 64 bit variable. I've changed it to use
%lx and long types. That should work on all our platforms.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

* consumers of elf.h now use the minimalist elf header possible.
This change is motivated by Binutils 2.11.0 and too much clashing over
our base elf headers and the Binutils elf headers.
no longer contains kernel specific data structures, but rather
only scalar values and structures that are already part of the
kernel/user interface, specifically rusage and rtprio. It no
longer contains proc, session, pcred, ucred, procsig, vmspace,
pstats, mtx, sigiolst, klist, callout, pasleep, or mdproc. If
any of these changed in size, ps, w, fstat, gcore, systat, and
top would all stop working. The new structure has over 200 bytes
of unassigned space for future values to be added, yet is nearly
100 bytes smaller per entry than the structure that it replaced.
