Summary:                    [patch] suggested documentation update to
doc/backtrace.txt
Description: 
I encountered the same issue as 0017704, and before I saw that it had
already been filed I walked through doc/backtrace.txt to refresh my memory
of that process. The attached includes suggested changes to that
documentation file, primarily seeking to match up the doc with actual
behavior.

One of the biggest changes I saw is that the core file is now just called
"core" instead of core.<asterisk pid> and that it apparently gets dumped in
pwd instead of /tmp/ -- or is my system strange?

Standard `gdb -v` output was also updated, and there are a few grammar
fixes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The location of the core file is a function of the OS, not Asterisk. 
Traditional Unix used core, but the CentOS we use appends the process ID. 
Moreover, if you use safe_asterisk, that renames it to include the date
(I'm not sure if it would find it if it didn't have the process ID).
