trans/crash: core file name templates
Add an option to specify a template used to construct core file names. This way core files can be collected at a predictable central location. * hurd/crash.defs (crash_dump_task): Return EEXIST if the core file has been written elsewhere. * trans/crash.c (corefile_template): New variable. (template_valid): New function. (template_make_file_name): Likewise. (S_crash_dump_task): Use the template to construct a name, open the file, and write the core dump there instead of the handle provided by the caller. (argp_option): New option. (doc): Document the format. (parse_opt): Handle new option (trivfs_append_args): Likewise.
