ACRA: add more fields to crash reports, but no user identifying info

Hans-Christoph Steiner requested to merge eighthave/fdroidclient:more-fields-for-acra into master

extended info on things we already have:

  • PRODUCT is another name for BRAND/PHONE_MODEL
  • TOTAL_MEM_SIZE can be derived from hardware name
  • DISPLAY is also available by looking up the hardware
  • STACK_TRACE_HASH should make automated sorting easier

new info:

  • PACKAGE_NAME is only new info if the user is using a whitelabel app
  • AVAILABLE_MEM_SIZE can be used to track users, but only when provided at high resolution, e.g. once per second or higher. Most users only send a single crash report. High frequency reporters send under 100, which is still orders of magnatude below what is needed to track users.
