[v2.2,1/2] check: detect and preserve all coredumps made by a test

From: Darrick J. Wong <[e-mail]>

If someone sets kernel.core_uses_pid (or kernel.core_pattern), any
coredumps generated by fstests might have names that are longer than
just "core".  Since the pid isn't all that useful by itself, let's
record the coredumps by hash when we save them, so that we don't waste
space storing identical crash dumps.

v2.1: use REPORT_DIR per maintainer suggestion
v2.2: use seqres, not REPORT_DIR, since REPORT_DIR doesnt work
