* Add a new function dbgDumpLog to dumpinfo.cpp for dumping the last debug messages
* Add a debug output callback to dumpinfo.cpp which is used to fetch the debug messages and store them in a ring buffer

* Flush the write end of the pipe after writing all GDB commands into it
* Process the return data (both return value and the contents of the output integer) from waitpid()

* return as soon as an error condition is detected, thus preventing the need for deep nested if-branches.
* Add some additional comments
* Return true or false, false indicating an error, true indicating success

With our current backtrace dumps I quite oftenly find that in case of segfaults, which combined with assert failures are the most common crash cause, I cannot easily see what value the dereferenced pointer held.
To be able to see this the exception handler will now invoke the "disassemble" and "info registers" commands when producing a back trace using GDB. This gives us the ability to see the precise assembly instruction that triggered the crash, together with the value of the register that was used as pointer.

* Use strlcpy for copying strings instead of snprintf "%s"
* Don't cast the return value from vsnprintf to (void)
* When we use va_start make sure to use va_end as well...
* Fix indentation

* Don't define windowsExceptionHandler when compiling with MinGW (as we don't use it on MinGW)
