[PATCH v1 5/5] makedumpfile: Add support for --block-size

[Zhou Wenjian]

Use --block-size to specify block size (KB)
When --split is specified in cyclic mode,block table will be
generated in get_num_dumpable_cyclic.

+Specify the block size in kilo bytes for analysis in the cyclic mode with --split.
+In the cyclic split mode, the number of blocks is represented as:
+
+    num_of_blocks = system_memory / (\fIblock_size\fR * 1KB )
+
+The larger number of block, the faster working speed is expected, but the more memory will
+be taken. By default, \fIblock_size\fR will be set as 1GB, so ordinary users don't need to
+specify this option.

 Running in the non-cyclic mode, this mode uses the old filtering logic same as v1.4.4 or before.
 If you feel the cyclic mode is too slow, please try this mode.
