[Desktop12.04-Topic] Crash Database

There's been discussions around establishing a crash database of sorts
(see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker).

The idea is to have a place to collect crash report data to view it in
aggregate, so we can track what the most common crashes are in the
release.

There are a lot of similarities to apport (in fact this could be just a
new facet to apport), except that data is stored in its own database
rather than the bug tracker (as it could get cluttery), and we leave it
on post-release.

For Precise, I don't think we want to try to undertake implementation,
but it would be nice to get the design more fleshed out and perhaps do a
proof of concept implementation.
