MDEV-15051: signal handler - output information about the core generation

The working directory, resource limits and core pattern will
aid the user finding a core file in the case of failure.

While the core file size is most relevant however other resource
limits may give a clue as the the cause of the fatal signal so
include them also.

As signal handler functions are limited, proc filesystem reads/
readlink calls are used instead of the more obvious getcwd/getrlimits
functions which aren't listed as signal safe.

Results in output of the form:
