coredump: process special crashes in an (almost) normal way
We would only log a terse message when pid1 or systemd-journald crashed. It seems better to reuse the normal code paths as much as possible, with the following differences: - if pid1 crashes, we cannot launch the helper, so we don't analyze the coredump, just write it to file directly from the helper invoked by the kernel; - if journald crashes, we can produce the backtrace, but we don't log full structured messages. With comparison to previous code, advantages are: - we go through most of the steps, so for example vacuuming is performed, - we gather and log more data. In particular for journald and pid1 crashes we generate a backtrace, and for pid1 crashes we record the metadata (fdinfo, maps, etc.), - coredumpctl shows pid1 crashes. A disavantage (inefficiency) is that we gather metadata for journald crashes which is then ignored because _TRANSPORT=kernel does not support structued messages. Messages for the systemd-journald "crash" have _TRANSPORT=kernel, and _TRANSPORT=journal for the pid1 "crash".
