Summary:                    [patch] Clean valgrind output by suppressing false
errors
Description: 
There are some false errors that are flooding valgrind log. 

Attached small valgrind suppression file that filters out most common
errors. It's supposed to be placed in utils/asterisk.supp but if other dir
is chosen, it should be updated in valgrind.txt

Also updated valgrind.txt so that 
* it doesn't write malloc_debug.txt from stderr (which never ever
contained anything useful).
* --log-fd is used instead of --log-file. This helps to avoid flood with
"Use --log-fd=<number> to select an alternative log fd" messages.

--log-fd is nice, but it means that a new start of Asterisk overwrites the
log file of the crashed one... That isn't very convenient. The previous
--log-file-exactly had the same problem.

It would be ideal if valgrind could combine --log-fd and --log-file, so it
opened the file itself but at a particular fd.
