min() and max() from the Linux kernel go through the trouble of
resulting in a constant expression if the arguments are constant
expressions, but they can't be used outside of a function due to their
use of ({ }). This means that they can't be used for, e.g., enumerators
or global arrays. Let's simplify min() and max() and instead add
explicit min_iconst() and max_iconst() macros that can be used
everywhere that an integer constant expression is required. We can then
use it in hash_table.h. While we're here, let's split these into their
own header file and document them better.

I recently hit a couple of CI failures caused by relying on transitive
includes that weren't always present. include-what-you-use is a
Clang-based tool that helps with this. It's a bit finicky and noisy, so
this adds scripts/iwyu.py to make running it more convenient (but not
reliable enough to automate it in Travis).
This cleans up all reasonable include-what-you-use warnings and
reorganizes a few header files.

Commit 326107f054 ("libdrgn: add task_state_to_char() helper")
implemented task_state_to_char() in libdrgn so that it could be used in
commit 4780c7a266 ("libdrgn: stack_trace: prohibit unwinding stack of
running tasks"). As of commit eea5422546 ("libdrgn: make Linux kernel
stack unwinding more robust"), it is no longer used in libdrgn, so we
can translate it to Python. This removes a bunch of code and is more
useful as an example.

drgn was originally my side project, but for awhile now it's also been
my work project. Update the copyright headers to reflect this, and add a
copyright header to various files that were missing it.
Now that we can walk page tables, we can use it in a memory reader that
reads kernel memory via the kernel page table. This means that we don't
need libkdumpfile for ELF vmcores anymore (although I'll keep the
functionality around until this code has been validated more).
Add a helper to get the state of a task (e.g., 'R', 'S', 'D'). This will
be used to make sure that a task is not running when getting a stack
trace, so implement it in libdrgn.
We'd like to be able to look up tasks by PID from libdrgn, but those
helpers are written in Python. Translate them to C and add some thin
bindings so we can use the same implementation from Python.
