George Joseph 08cb67251f ast_coredumper: Refactor to better find things
The search for a running asterisk when --running is used
has been greatly simplified and in the event it doesn't
work, you can now specify a pid to use on the command
line with --pid.

The search for asterisk modules when --tarball-coredumps
is used has been enhanced to have a better chance of finding
them and in the event it doesn't work, you can now specify
--libdir on the command line to indicate the library directory
where they were installed.

The DATEFORMAT variable was renamed to DATEOPTS and is now
passed to the 'date' utility rather than running DATEFORMAT
as a command.

The coredump and output files are now renamed with DATEOPTS.
This can be disabled by specifying --no-rename.

Several confusing and conflicting options were removed:
--append-coredumps
--conffile
--no-default-search
--tarball-uniqueid

The script was re-structured to make it easier for follow.

messages-expire.pl

messages-expire finds messages more than X days old and deletes them.
Because the older messages will be the lower numbers in the folder (msg0000
will be older than msg0005), just deleting msg0000 will not work.
expire-messages then runs a routine that goes into every folder in every
mailbox to reorganize.  If the folder contains msg0000, no action is taken.
If the folder does not, the rename routine takes the oldest message and
names it msg0000, the next oldest message and names it msg0001 and so on.

The file deletion is done by the -exec parameter to 'find'.  It would be far
more efficient to take the output from 'find' and just reorganize the
directories from which we deleted a file.  Something for the future...

Keep in mind that messages are deleted at the beginning of the script you
will have mailbox trouble if you check messages before the script
reorganizes your mailbox.

To use it, make sure the paths are right.  Adjust $age (originally set to
31) if necessary.
