Add some improvements to lock debugging. These changes take effect
with DEBUG_THREADS enabled and provide the following:
* This will keep track of which locks are held by which thread as well as
which lock a thread is waiting for in a thread-local data structure. A
reference to this structure is available on the stack in the dummy_start()
function, which is the common entry point for all threads. This information
can be easily retrieved using gdb if you switch to the dummy_start() stack
frame of any thread and print the contents of the lock_info variable.
* All of the thread-local structures for keeping track of this lock information
are also stored in a list so that the information can be dumped to the CLI
using the "core show locks" CLI command. This introduces a little bit of a
performance hit as it requires additional underlying locking operations
inside of every lock/unlock on an ast_mutex. However, the benefits of
having this information available at the CLI is huge, especially considering
this is only done in DEBUG_THREADS mode. It means that in most cases where
we debug deadlocks, we no longer have to request access to the machine to
analyze the contents of ast_mutex_t structures. We can now just ask them
to get the output of "core show locks", which gives us all of the information
we needed in most cases.
I also had to make some additional changes to astmm.c to make this work when
both MALLOC_DEBUG and DEBUG_THREADS are enabled. I disabled tracking of one
of the locks in astmm.c because it gets used inside the replacement memory
allocation routines, and the lock tracking code allocates memory. This caused
infinite recursion.

- Create an astmm_log() macro that logs the same message to both stderr as well
as the mmlog file if it is open instead of duplicating the code everywhere.
- Use for loops for list traversals instead of while loops
- reduce nesting
- ensure locking isn't put around more than is necessary
- localize a struct definition
- change the limit of the path to the mmlog to PATH_MAX instead of 80

- restructured build tree and makefiles to eliminate recursion problems
- support for embedded modules
- support for static builds
