add support for silent failure

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Add support for a failure mode such that CrashRpt will automatically submit
a report without the need for an end-user to intervene and click any sort
of submit button. This feature is useful for server processes.

I think we can introduce two modes: client mode and server mode. 

In client mode CrashRpt would work as usual and request user consent. 

In server mode it would create report silently. Since the developer has access 
to the
server, there is no need to send any reports. Maybe it should send a 
notification but
not a complete report. Am I correct?

In server mode there would still need to be a complete report. The developer 
would
not necessarily have access to the server. In my case, the server runs at the 
client
location on a workstation that few people see. In order to properly diagnose the
crash and cause I will need the complete report.

If so, then user still has to provide his consent (maybe not in form of button
click). We can't just silently send personal info, even if your clients use 
server
processes. I'm afraid antiviruses may block your software if it will silently 
send
personal data.

I desperately need a server mode so that no email is sent and instead the crash 
report 
zip file is silently created.  Older versions of CrashRpt has a 'NoUI' flag 
that would 
achieve this but I can't see how to do this in the latest release.

Where did you find the flag 'NoUI'? ;)

When I first looked at this project a few years ago there was a SetNoUI 
function 
(something like that) that wouldn't send the email and would just write the zip 
file.  
I would like to see the following if possible:

1. The ability to tell CrashRpt not to send emails and just write the zip file 
(by 
leaving all the email flags set to zero or something.)  SetNoUI reborn.

2. An option to specify which folder the crash reports are written too.  The 
current 
local appdata folder is actually a pain to talk people through locating - I'd 
like 
these files to go into the same folder as my EXE (and it runs as a service so 
write 
permissions aren't a problem.)

Is this unreasonable?  I'm happy to make the changes to the code myself to 
allow for 
this but I think others would fine these changes useful too.

I can implement these features, I think they are nice to have. Please create new
issue per each enhancement request. This issue thread is about silent mode only.
