Retire ptrace(T_DUMPCORE), dumpcore(1), gcore(1)

Browse Source 
The T_DUMPCORE implementation was not only broken - it would currently
produce a coredump of the tracer process rather than the traced
process - but also deeply flawed, and fixing it would require serious
alteration of PM's internal state machine. It should be possible to
implement the same functionality in userland, and that is now the
suggested way forward. For now, also remove the (identical) utilities
using T_DUMPCORE: dumpcore(1) and gcore(1).
