[Crash-utility] Heads Up -- crash-6.1.3 may fail to load extension modules

Changelog:
- Fix for a crash-6.1.3 regression with respect to the loading of
extension modules. Because of the change that replaced the obsolete
_init() and _fini() functions with constructor and destructor
functions, extension modules may fail to load when the extension
modules are built with older compiler/linkers. The problem is
due to the continued usage of the -nostartfiles compiler option
regardless whether the extension module has replaced its _init()
function with a constructor function; with older compiler/linkers,
the module may fail to load. The fix predetermines whether an
extension module still uses _init() or if it has been updated to
use a constructor function, and will use the -nostartfiles option
only on older "legacy" modules.

- Implemented a new "list -r" option that can be used with lists
that are linked with list_head structures. When invoked, the
command will traverse the linked list in the reverse order by
using the "prev" pointer instead of "next".

- Fix for the "swap" command's FILENAME display. In some kernels
between 2.6.32 and 2.6.38 the swap partition's pathname may not
show the "/dev" filename component.

- Fix for the "swap" command's PCT display, which will display a
a negative percentage value if more than 5368709 swap pages are
in use.
