coredump: add new %P variable in core_pattern
Add a new %P variable to be used in core_pattern. This variable contains
the global PID (PID in the init namespace) as %p contains the PID in the
current namespace which isn't always what we want.
The main use for this is to make it easier to handle crashes that happened
within a container. With that new variables it's possible to have the
crashes dumped into the container or forwarded to the host with the right
PID (from the host's point of view).
