AU: Function to trigger crash reporter.
This CL introduces a new utility function that fork()s and has the
child call abort(), thus triggering the crash reporter. The actual
work is done in a main loop callback to ensure that the stack trace is
the same for all calls to this function.
TEST=unittest (minimal), tested on device - saw crash reporter pick up the crash.
