When writing a child process minidump if Breakpad encounters a failure it won't inform the main process that a dump is available. In the new Rust code we always generate a minidump even though it might be empty or truncated, so always make sure that it's delivered to the main process.

This means that we should ignore the return value of write_minidump_linux_with_context() here and always go on.

The goal is to always report minidumps, even when empty, malformed or truncated.
