The thread API needs a way to iterate over all task_structs in the
kernel. Previously, we translated the existing for_each_task helper,
which supports iterating through specific PID namespaces by walking
through the PID radix tree or PID hashtable. However, we don't need
specific namespaces for the thread API, so we can instead use the much
simpler linked lists of thread groups and threads.

This reverts commit 2b47583c73. After
Kevin had completed this, we realized that there is a simpler method for
iterating through tasks from libdrgn, which the next commit will
implement. Revert the translation, but keep the improved
tests.helpers.linux.test_pid.TestPid.test_for_each_task.

Disabling SMP is necessary to work around a bug in QEMU's handling of
the capture kernel, but makes the tests run much slower. However, this
bug only appears to manifest when KVM acceleration is disabled, so the
testing harness has been modified to only disable SMP when this is true.

Now that the vmtest kernel supports kdump, add a script that can be used
to crash and enter the kdump environment on demand. Use that to crash
after running the normal test suite so that we can run tests against
/proc/vmcore. vmcore tests live in their own directory; presently the
only test is a simple sanity check that ensures we can can attach to
/proc/vmcore.

We can avoid the need for the kexec tool if we load the kdump kernel

We would like to test drgn against kernel core dumps (e.g., for #129).
One option would be to include some vmcore files in the repository and
test against those. But those can be huge, and we'd need a lot of them
to test different kernel versions. Instead, we can run vmtest, enable
kdump, and trigger a crash. To do that, we first need to enable a few
kernel config options.

I missed that the kernel has an idle_task() function which uses
cpu_rq()->idle instead of idle_threads; the latter is technically
architecture-specific. So, replace idle_thread() with idle_task(), which
is architecture-independent and more consistent with the kernel.

Add helpers to convert between sockets and inodes. As an example:
>>> file = fget(task, fd)
>>> sock = SOCKET_I(file.f_inode)
>>> sock.type.value_()
2
>>> import socket
>>> int(socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
2
>>> inode = SOCK_INODE(sock)
Also add tests for the new helpers to tests/helpers/linux/test_net.py.

In preparation for introducing an API to represent threads, the linux

There are a few reasons for this:
1. dwfl_core_file_report() crashes on elfutils 0.183-0.185. Those
versions are still used by several distros.
2. In order to support --main-symbols and --symbols properly, we need to
report things ourselves.
3. I'm considering moving away from libdwfl in the long term.
We provide an escape hatch for now: setting the environment variable
DRGN_USE_LIBDWFL_REPORT=1 opts out of drgn's reporting and uses
libdwfl's.

I implemented the case of a segment in a core file with p_filesz <
p_memsz by treating the difference as zero bytes. This is correct for
ET_EXEC and ET_DYN, but for ET_CORE, it actually means that the memory
existed in the program but was not saved. For userspace core dumps, this
typically happens for read-only file mappings. For kernel core dumps,
makedumpfile does this to indicate memory that was excluded.
Instead, let's return a DRGN_FAULT_ERROR if an attempt is made to read
from these bytes. In the future, we need to read from the
executable/library files when we can.

Issue #130 reported an "unknown attribute form 0x1f20" from drgn. 0x1f20
is DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt, which is a reference to a DIE in an alternate
file. Similarly, DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt is a string in an alternate file.
The alternate file is specified by the .gnu_debugaltlink section. This
is generated by dwz, which is used by at least Fedora and Debian.
libdwfl already finds the alternate debug info file, so we can save its
.debug_info and .debug_str and use those to support DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt
and DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt in the DWARF index.
Imported units are going to be more work to support in the DWARF index,
but this at least lets drgn start up.
