Microdumps are a very lightweight variant of minidumps. They are meant
to dump a minimal crash report on the system log (logcat on Android),
containing only the state of the crashing thread.
This is to deal with cases where the user has opted out from crash
uploading but we still want to generate meaningful information on the
device to pull a stacktrace for development purposes.
Conversely to conventional stack traces (e.g. the one generated by
Android's debuggerd or Chromium's base::stacktrace) microdumps do NOT
require unwind tables to be present in the target binary. This allows
to save precious binary size (~1.5 MB for Chrome on Arm, ~10 MB on
arm64).
