Instead of malloc/free each time for DumpState, make it
static. Added DumpStatus to show status for dump.

This is to be used for detached dump.

I see that the motivation for making DumpState static is for
dump_in_progress(). DumpState isn't massive, but it isn't tiny
either, so maybe we should just have a global pointer instead?
dump_in_progress() can report DUMP_STATUS_NONE when the pointer
is NULL, or whatever the status is, when it's not.

I chose to use static dump state mostly for the simplicity of
implementation.

If I use a dynamic one, I can save some memory spaces when there is
no dump task, however since it's async dump with dedicated thread, I
need at least a lock to protect the global pointer when to
use/malloc/free it, since there can be concurrent operations (e.g.,
when dump thread finished and trying to free the dump state, one
user might be querying dump status too). So I just chose not to save
the 200+ bytes.

One more thing a static dump state could bring is that, instead of
letting the user know "there is/is't a dump running", we can let him
know something more, like: "no dump started" or "latest dump
finished, with total written bytes XXX". Also, user can always check
for all the information with the last time he/she did the dump
(which I take it as a tiny small enhancement too).

Thanks.
