BMCDump: dump subtype input parameter support

The BMC dump is not accepting any parameters to specify the type of
dump or level of data to be collected. It was always creating a default
user-requested dump.

This commit allows for the specification of the dump type during the
dump creation process. A new table has been added in a new header file
which stores the valid dump types. When a new dump is requested, the
specified dump type is verified against this table. If no dump type is
mentioned, a user-requested BMC dump is created for backward
compatibility. If an invalid dump type is mentioned, an Invalid
Argument exception is thrown.

Tested:
- Create BMC dump with no arguments
- Create BMC dump with type as user
- Create a error log dump and make sure other types of dumps
  which is using internal interface is not impacted.

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
