vmcore-dmesg: Do not write beyond end of buffer
scan_vmcoreinfo() currently assumes that every vmcoreinfo note line ends
with \n and overwrites new line with \0. But last entry in note, CRASHTIME=
does not end with \n and this leads to corrupting memory as we write beyond
end of buffer.
Normally things were fine but when I added some fields to vmcoreinfo, this
bug started showing and vmcore-dmesg started crashing.
I am planning to send a patch to fix this in kernel but it might be good
idea to handle this case in user space too so that vmcore-dmesg works
fine with cores of older kernels.

commit df88cab364cd1a3b8c992042d62efe5e350e6b2a

vmcore-dmesg: vmcore-dmesg: Make it work with new structured logging format
Now kernel has made kernel logging structured and exsisting vmcore-dmesg
does not work with this new format. Hence kernel version 3.5 is broken. In
3.6 now a kernel patch has been put which exports relevant fields. This
patch parses those fields and makes vmcore-dmesg work with new logging
format.
Currently it does not display log levels or dictionary. I personally think
that log levels are not very useful and it also requires additional kernel
patches so that log levels are not bitfields and relevant information is
exported to user space properly.
Concept of dictionary is new and relevant information is exported. One can
possibly enahnce vmcore-dmesg to also print dictionary contents based on
a user command line option.
