When rare errors happen in the wild, they are a) often unreported or b)
reported only in anonymized form, with little context that can help
pinpoint the root cause.

Users can help us out tremendously by contacting us, and so we should
incentivize that.

Do so by concluding fatal errors (i.e. most crashes) with a call to
action.

Touches #28699.
Touches #24033.
Touches #25173.

Release note: None
