OpenPOWER: Ignore duplicate system dump entry

This commit introduces changes to handle scenarios where
the host might report the same system dump entry more than once.
The changes have been made to address two main scenarios:

When the host generates a system dump having the same dump id
and size as an existing entry, the new notification is ignored
if the existing entry is marked as 'completed'. A trace is added
if the existing entry is incomplete.

In cases where the dump id matches an existing entry, but the size
is different, the old entry is considered stale and gets deleted.
A new entry will be created subsequently.

This issue arises particularly during internal failure recovery
in the host, where it notifies all the pending dumps again.
In cases where entries are already available for such dumps on the BMC,
duplicate entries may be created, potentially leading to confusion
for users. This change prevents the creation of new entries if an entry
already exists for the same dump.

Tests:
Create a disruptive system dump and offload
Create a non-disruptive system dump and offload

phosphor-debug-collector

Phosphor Debug Collector provides mechanisms to collect various log files and system parameters. Used to troubleshoot problems in OpenBMC based systems.

One such mechanism is dreport, a script that collects debug data and packages it into an archive file.

To Build

To build this package with meson, do the following steps:

    1. meson builddir
    2. ninja -C builddir

To clean the built files run ninja -C builddir clean.

To run unit tests

Tests can be run in the CI docker container, refer local-ci-build

or with an OpenBMC x86 sdk(see below for x86 steps).

meson -Dtests=enabled build
ninja -C build test
