[PATCH v4 2/9] makedumpfile and eppic interface layer

This patch extends the makedumpfile functionality to include eppic
language support. The patch dynamically loads the makedumpfile specific
shared object and calls the eppic_load function in shared object to
load/compile and execute the specified eppic macros.

This patch also includes "--eppic" option to makedumpfile command to
specify the eppic macro or the directory containing eppic macros. The
specified eppic macro will be executed to scrub the data in the
dumpfile. In case of a directory, all the eppic macros inside the
directory will be executed for scrubbing the data.

TODO
	- Support specifying eppic macros in the makedumpfile.conf file.
	  A new command should be added to makedumpfile.conf to identify
	  an eppic macro. This command could be used in any section of
	  the makedumpfile.conf, where the section name indicates the kernel
	  module name. makedumpfile will only search for symbols encountered
	  by eppic macro only in the specified module. Because, searching
	  these symbols in all the modules will cause huge performance
	  overhead.
