[Bug 1731610] [NEW] add --save option to apport-collect

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

The `--save` option of `apport-bug` allows collected and generated data
to be save in a file and to use the data for a report later. It'd be
nice if `apport-collect` would have this function since collecting the
data for an update and having an internet connection might not be
possible at all times.
