Subject: [PATCH] Implement "-a" command line option for gcore

With the new "-a" command line option, the user may request gcore to
actually dump all present memory mappings. The actual effect of this
argument is OS dependent.

On GNU/Linux, it will disable use-coredump-filter and enable
dump-excluded-mappings.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-11-29  Sergio Lopez  <slp@redhat.com>

	* gcore.in: Add "-a" command line option for instructing gdb to
	dump all memory mappings (OS dependent).
