tgkill() is not necessarily possible, as a sandbox might block this call.
This changelist tries different approaches depending on whether we received
a synchronous or an asynchronous signal. This fixes unittest failures and
also runs correctly in sandbox'd environments.

Inspector::ReadMessages as was done before r627. The "hello" message contains
the parameter count and is referenced while the message reader loops through
parameter messages. Prior to r627, both messages were named |message|, which
was confusing, probably caused a compiler warning, and apparently provided the
motivation to share them. This caused the crash inspector to fail to properly
collect the parameters. The common failure mode (although others are possible)
was for the inspector to attempt tor read more parameter messages than were
available, resulting in an IPC timeout and inspector death. No crash report
would be written, and the application expecting its crash to be inspected
would time out waiting for a response from the inspector and then _exit. This
is effectively a failure to properly handle crashes.
The inner message is reintroduced, and named parameter_message for
disambiguation.

Created the exception_handler_test that test the generation of dump and the dumps themselves.
Moved all dump analysis code from minidump to its right class DumpAnalysis. The class is used by both minidump_test and exception_handler_test. The tests are way simpler that way (ie. no handling of HANDLE).
minidump_test now uses the minidump_generator class instead of using Win32. It works well and pass all tests.
exception_handler now passes both the exception and assertion infos to the client to generate the dump. If one is NULL it's going to be handled correctly.
crash_generation_client can now RequestDump with both exception and assertion info.
minidump_generator returns both the mini and full dump string pointers, and output both (or either) depending on which was generated.
All original interfaces and method signature are still there, but call the new functions if possible.

I had to remove the dependency from base (was using FilePath and ScopedHandle, replaced them by standard std::wstring and HANDLE). Also removed the logging and the main from the original files.
This will serve as a base for testing breakpad's dump generation. It is kept like this for easier tracking.

Breakpad Linux client: Simplify VerifyStackReadWithMultipleThreads unit test.
As written, the VerifyStackReadWithMultipleThreads unit test makes
assumptions about the layout of thread_function's stack frame. As a result,
the test will fail when compiled with some compilers, or built with certain
optimization levels.
As an extension to C++, the GNU compilers allow you to request that a
variable be placed in a specific register. Using this, we can have
thread_function put the thread id in place where the test can find it
reliably.

Having an exception of interest makes the resultant minidumps look just like
crash dumps, in that the processor can identify the "crashing" tread.
This means such minidumps can be classified by the stack signature, in contrast to the current state of things, in which all such dumps get lumped on a single pile.

We've gotten mixed advice from the lawyery types about whether this
matters. But it's easy enough to do.
