A short story -- there were a long conversation on which format should
be used to keep checkpointed data on disk image. We ended up in using
Google's Protocol Buffers (see https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
for detailed description). Thus image entries should be convered to PB.
This patch converts fdinfo_entry to PB "message fdinfo_entry".
Build note: one should have protobuf and protobuf-c installed to be able
to build crtools.

It's only required for making pipe_id, but making it is better to
be done in place and using the st_ino only.

Otherwise I see output like
| Dumping path for 1536412160 fd via self 27 [/usr/bin/screen]
where fd is taken from stack and what is worse -- we work
with root privilegues, thus dumping _anything_ from stack
is very bad idea.
With explicitly cleared stack data and FD_DESC_INVALID the
log file will have an entry like
| Dumping path for -3 fd via self 27 [/usr/bin/screen]

The regfile's ID of a VMA is stored in its shmid field. And the
file itself if sumped into regfiles.img image with 'special'-ly
generated ID (i.e. -- just allocate a new unique one).

The unique id is 32 bit and consists only of the subid value. This
is _really_ enough. The genid part is just a hint for the tree-search
algirythm to avoid unneeded sys_kcmp calls.
Plus, generate IDs for special files. This will make it easier to
move the regfiles into into separate files (see the respective patch
for details).

We switch generic-object-id concept with sys_kcmp approach,
which implies changes of image format a bit (and since it's
early time for project overall, we're allowed to).
In short -- previously every file descriptor had an ID
generated by a kernel and exported via procfs. If the
appropriate file descriptors were the same objects in
kernel memory -- the IDs did match up to bit. It allows
us to figure out which files were actually the identical
ones and should be restored in a special way.
Once sys_kcmp system call was merged into the kernel,
we've got a new opprotunity -- to use this syscall instead.
The syscall basically compares kernel objects and returns
ordered results suitable for objects sorting in a userspace.
For us it means -- we treat every file descriptor as a combination
of 'genid' and 'subid'. While 'genid' serves for fast comparison
between fds, the 'subid' is kind of a second key, which guarantees
uniqueness of genid+subid tuple over all file descritors found
in a process (or group of processes).
To be able to find and dump file descriptors in a single pass we
collect every fd into a global rbtree, where (!) each node might
become a root for a subtree as well.
The main tree carries only non-equal genid. If we find genid which
is already in tree, we need to make sure that it's either indeed
a duplicate or not. For this we use sys_kcmp syscall and if we
find that file descriptors are different -- we simply put new
fd into a subtree.
