ast_coredumper:  Refactor the pid determination process

In order to get a dump of the running process, we need to find the
pid of the main asterisk process.  This can be tricky if there are
also instances of "asterisk -r" running or if an alternate location
for asterisk.conf was specified on the command line with the -C
option that also specified an alternation location for the pid file.

So now...

1. We find the asterisk executable with "which" or the --asterisk-bin
   command line option.
2. If there's only 1 process with an executable path that matches,
   we use that pid.  If not...
3. We try "<asterisk-bin> -rx 'core show settings'" and parse the
   output to find the pidfile, then read that for the pid.  If that
   didn't work...
4. We get a list of all the pids matching <asterisk-bin> and look
   in /proc/<pid>/cmdline for a -C argument and retry the "core show
   settings" using the same -C option.  We can't parse the output
   of "ps" to get the -C path because it may contain spaces.  The
   contents of /proc/<pid>/cmdline are delimited by NULLs.  For BSDs
   we may have to mount /proc first. :(
