On Linux, it is possible to register a core handler via
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern. Doing so invokes the core handler when
a process crash. The core_handler uses /proc/<pid>/mem to access the
process memory. This way it is not necessary to process the full
coredump which takes time and consumes memory.
In order to profit from this core handler, for example, one can
integrate dump_syms into Yocto and generate an archive with the
breakpad symbols of all the binaries in the rootfs. Minidumps are
especially useful on embedded systems since they are lightweight and
provide contextual information.

Adds an optional 'm' as the first field in FUNCTION and PUBLIC records
to indicate that the address corresponds to more than one symbol.
Controls this by a command line flag for now to give symbol file users
a chance to update.
Also reduces the number of IDiaSymbols retained in memory to one per
address. This reduces memory consumption by 8% when processing
chrome.dll.pdb.
Updates the processor to parse the new optional field.

This reverts commit 7ed2476eea2c2a50fd40ec3e711dcb311d472753.
This was supposed to be committed to the linux-syscall-support
project. The two CLs landing at the sametime confused me.
