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.

amorsen: why would you want to run valgrind all the time? it makes things
really slow. And yes, You should have write access to current directory, so
try starting it with command described.

As for load_dynamic_module: it's not suppressed because you don't have all
the symbols, so you should compile asterisk with DONT_OPTIMIZE and
MALLOC_DEBUG as described in valgrind.txt
