Show thread names in crash reports #515

It would be awesome if crash reports would show the name for each thread (if 
non-empty) as returned by base::Thread::thread_name().

I don't think the minidump data structures have any built-in fields for this. 
We could however add our own custom Breakpad data stream, store the thread 
names in there, and pull them out with our processor.

So that's adding metadata at a different layer outside of the minidump itself. 
Doing that and then getting Google's Crash server to interpret the metadata is 
a bit outside the scope of Breakpad. The Breakpad src/processor/ binaries only 
reads in minidump files and parse the data inside the .dmp files.
