[Bug 1245524] [NEW] whoopsie fails to notice/process .crash files on touch images

[Paul Larson]

Public bug reported:

We're trying to use the whoopsie-upload-all script in apport to ensure
that all .crash files get uploaded in touch images.  It seems that
something is wrong with the inotify watch when running on the touch
images though.

As a workaround, we've found that running whoopsie-upload-all, waiting
for the .upload files to appear, then restarting whoopsie will unblock
things.

We can work around this in ci for now, but this needs to be investigated
further as it could cause problems down the road for allowing devices to
upload crash data in the wild.
