9c1e214f79 Fix core corruption caused by race in note_procstat_vmmap
This fix is spiritually similar to r287442 and was discovered thanks to
the KASSERT added in that revision.

NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' vm map
via vn_fullpath.  As vnodes may move during coredump, this is racy.

We do not remove the race, only prevent it from causing coredump
corruption.

- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_vmmapinfo, to allow users to disable
  kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_VMMAP notes.  This avoids VMMAP corruption
  and truncation, even if names change, at the cost of up to PATH_MAX
  bytes per mapped object.  The new sysctl is documented in core.5.

- Fix note_procstat_vmmap to self-limit in the second pass.  This
  addresses corruption, at the cost of sometimes producing a truncated
  result.

- Fix PROCSTAT_VMMAP consumers libutil (and libprocstat, via copy-paste)
  to grok the new zero padding.

c10016b254 Include param.h instead of types.h when using user.h. Otherwise there is
a dependence on ucred.h including audit.h including param.h, which we
would like to eliminate.

2368f18ac4 Initialize the cntp pointer to 0 prior to doing any work so that callers
don't try to iterate through garbage or NULL memory.  Additionally, return
NULL instead of 0 on error.

1a56ba723d Attempt a quick bandaid for arm build breakage. I went to the trouble of
maintaining alignment, but I'm not sure how to tell gcc this.
