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.

I have to run Asterisk in valgrind for days/weeks because we are suffering
from hard-to-reproduce crashes. It works surprisingly well though, apart
from the fact that Asterisk is quite far from being valgrind-clean.

I will try to set current working directory to /tmp before invoking
valgrind. That may help.
