Temporarily decompress a copy of a crash dump compressed with either
gzip or zstd and run various tools against the decompressed copy while
generating the crash information. The uncompressed copy is deleted when
the script exits.
Note that crashinfo is enabled by default, so this will attempt to
decompress the most recent compressed crash dump after a crash that
generates a compressed crash dump. Users who wish to only do offline
analysis of compressed crash dumps can disable crashinfo in rc.conf.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Long objdir paths make it easy to hit the version string length limit in
kernel dump headers. The build number and timestamp are unlikely to be
truncated and ought to be sufficient to protect against false positives.

When this option is enabled, only gdb and kgdb are installed to
/usr/libexec for use by crashinfo(8). Other bits of GDB such as
gdbserver and gdbtui are not installed. For this option to be
effective, GDB must be enabled.
Rework r317094 to re-enable GDB on all platforms but enable
GDB_LIBEXEC on platforms for which the GDB in ports is a superset of
functionality.

If gdb from ports is installed, use it instead of the base system gdb
to extract variables from a kernel. Note that base gdb and ports gdb
do not support the same options for invoking a single command in batch
mode, so a wrapper shell function is used. In addition, prefer kgdb
from ports when generating a backtrace if present.

Instead of blindly grabbing the line with 'Version string' and the
following one from the core info file, take all lines after 'Version
string' until the one one that matches the field format in the core info
file. This provides compatibility with VendorBSD modifications that have
a different kernel ident format.
