In order to get a dump of the running process, we need to find the
pid of the main asterisk process. This can be tricky if there are
also instances of "asterisk -r" running or if an alternate location
for asterisk.conf was specified on the command line with the -C
option that also specified an alternation location for the pid file.
So now...
1. We find the asterisk executable with "which" or the --asterisk-bin
command line option.
2. If there's only 1 process with an executable path that matches,
we use that pid. If not...
3. We try "<asterisk-bin> -rx 'core show settings'" and parse the
output to find the pidfile, then read that for the pid. If that
didn't work...
4. We get a list of all the pids matching <asterisk-bin> and look
in /proc/<pid>/cmdline for a -C argument and retry the "core show
settings" using the same -C option. We can't parse the output
of "ps" to get the -C path because it may contain spaces. The
contents of /proc/<pid>/cmdline are delimited by NULLs. For BSDs
we may have to mount /proc first. :(

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.

* Fix --tarball-config so the option doesn't cause an error.
* Allow for missing /etc/os-release.
* Add a sleep between tarballing the coredump and removing the
output directory to allow the filesystem to settle.

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.

Adds an extra option, --asterisk-bin=<path> to ast_coredumper. If
provided, the binary given to gdb will be the parameter, rather than
asterisk from the PATH.

The --tarball-coredump option now creates a gzipped tarball of
coredumps processed, their results txt files and copies of
/etc/os-release, /usr/sbin/asterisk, /usr/lib(64)/libasterisk* and
/usr/lib(64)/asterisk as those files are needed to properly examine
the coredump. The file will be named
/tmp/asterisk.<timestamp>.coredumps.tar.gz or
/tmp/asterisk-<uniqueid>.coredumps.tar.gz if --tarball-uniqueid was
specified.
Added dumps of *_siginfo to the top of the txt files so you can
tell what signal was invoked.

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.

(cherry picked from commit 5fa1c56d7e)
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.
