In case of internal errors, the build process generates an error report and no longer shows daunting stack traces. Instead, it fails with a clear message that tells users how to proceed: inspect the error report and, if unable to resolve the problem, file an issue with the error report.
Inspired by HotSpot, the default filename for error reports is
./svm_err_b_<timestamp>_pid<pid>.md
.This PR also adds a new HotSpot-inspired option:
ErrorFile
lets you choose a different filename for error reports.
