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".
