Investigate use of the crash reporting system in Electron/VSCode #7356

Description

Some information about how to use the crash reporting system in Electron, is here: microsoft/vscode#118767 (comment)

Child process are now monitored by the crash handler from runtime, you can obtain the reports following the steps https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-and-symbolicating-local-crash-reports. Once the app is quit, the crash report will be under /pending. To symbolicate, you can use https://github.com/nornagon/electron-minidump/blob/master/README.md and the symbols need to generated in the following format https://github.com/google/breakpad/blob/master/README.ANDROID#L93-L113. I will update the documentation on this in the wiki.

Opening this issue to track trying to make use of this system for collecting crash diagnostics. This would be an improvement over our current system, which currently only receives crash stacks from macOS.
