We've been seeing crashes in libbfd when we attempt to generate
a stack trace from multiple threads. It turns out that libbfd
is NOT thread-safe. It can cache the bfd structure and give it to
multiple threads without protecting itself. To get around this,
we've added a global mutex around the bfd functions and also have
refactored the use of those functions to be more efficient and
to provide more information about inlined functions.
Also added a few more tests to test_pbx.c. One just calls
ast_assert() and the other calls ast_log_backtrace(). Neither are
run by default.
WARNING: This change necessitated changing the return value of
ast_bt_get_symbols() from an array of strings to a VECTOR of
strings. However, the use of this function outside Asterisk is not
likely.

Review https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/2580/ tried to fix the mismatch
in memory pools but had a math error determining the buffer size and
didn't address other similar memory pool mismatches.
* Effectively reverted the previous patch to go in the same direction as
trunk for the returned memory pool of ast_bt_get_symbols().
* Fixed memory leak in ast_bt_get_symbols() when BETTER_BACKTRACES is
defined.
* Fixed some formatting in ast_bt_get_symbols().
* Fixed sig_pri.c freeing memory allocated by libpri when MALLOC_DEBUG is
enabled.
* Fixed __dump_backtrace() freeing memory from ast_bt_get_symbols() when
MALLOC_DEBUG is enabled.
* Moved __dump_backtrace() because of compile issues with the utils
directory.

This patch allows astmm to access the backtrace generation code in Asterisk.
When memory is allocated, a backtrace is created and stored with the memory
region that tracks the allocation. If a memory corruption is detected, the
backtrace is printed to the astmm log. The backtrace will make use of the
BETTER_BACKTRACES build option if available.
As a result, this patch moves the backtrace generation code into its own file
and uses the non-wrapped versions of the C library memory allocation routines.
This allows the memory allocation code to safely use the backtrace generation
routines without infinitely recursing.
