contents of the flight recorder
The overlap variable is sufficient to determine from where to start
displaying the contents of the ring buffer. Also redundant to verify
if the position in the buffer went over the maximum size.

Having a (single) global variable which others depend on it implies
having a single flight recorder present. Until we have a reason to
support multiple flight recorders limit the amount to a maximum of one.

With it add also a function which can be used in an assert()-like
situation to display the contents of the ring buffer. Within gdb
this call also be called if the program is loaded/still loaded into
memory.
The global variable will be used in a later patch to be accessed from a
python gdb script.

When all shared/ headers are included in the same way, we can drop unnecessary
include seach paths from the compiler.
This include style was chosen because it is prevalent in the code base. Doing
anything different would have been a bigger patch.
This also means that we need to keep the project root directory in the include
search path, which means that one could accidentally include private headers
with
#include "libweston/dbus.h"
or even
#include <libweston/dbus.h>
IMO such problem is smaller than the churn caused by any of the alternatives,
and we should be able to catch those in review. We might even be able to catch
those with grep in CI if necessary.
The "bad" include style was found with:
$ for h in shared/*.h; do git grep -F $(basename $h); done | grep -vF '"shared/'

Like a black box in an airplane, the flight recorder can be used to
accumulate data and, when needed, to display its contents.
