[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST] Arrange for core dumps to be placed in /var/core and collect them



Refactor the $kvp_replace helper in ts-xen-install into a generic
helper (which requires using ::EO and ::EI for namespacing) for use
with target_editfile and use it to edit /etc/sysctl.conf to set
kernel.core_pattern on boot.

Tested in standalone mode by installing and running a C program
containing "*(int *)0 = 1;" which, after running "ulimit -c unlimited"
produces the expected core file. ts-logs-capture when run in
standalone mode then picks them up.

I've not yet figured out how to make the desired rlimit take affect
for all processes (including e.g. daemons spawned on boot). Likely
this will involve some combination of pam_limits.so PAM module and
adding explicit ulimit calls to the initscripts which we care about
(primarily xencommons and libvirt initscripts).

I did debate making the presence of cores in /var/core fail the test
(somehow), but I decided that would be annoying for standalone mode or
shared host scenarios where the core files might be stale or related
to another job.
