coredump masking: add an interface for core dump filter
This patch adds an interface to set/reset flags which determines each memory
segment should be dumped or not when a core file is generated.
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter file is provided to access the flags. You can
change the flag status for a particular process by writing to or reading from
the file.
The flag status is inherited to the child process when it is created.
