Description

https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/4526 adds diagnostic stacktraces to the log when Suricata receives SIGSEGV or SIGABRT

Building on this, it would be helpful to create a "crash report" (similar but different to the Watson reports from long ago with MS software)

A crash report might have the following types of information:
- In-flight processing details such as packets, signatures, flows
- Additional information from stack frame of where the signal occurred
- Other contextual information to aid forensic analysis of dump
