Care to explain what this logfile would do, and how it would be different from the existing .txt files?

I asked him to file this bug.  People occasionally (sometimes systemically) get "Failed to submit crash report" with no extra data.  I don't want to throw up a dialog with a random error code, but I would be happy to put that in a log file.

Attachment: ad some logging to the crashreporter client

So this adds a basic log to the crashreporter client.  It logs to Crash Reports/submit.log.  It will log a successful submission, or a failure.  On Win32 and OS X, it should give a failure reason.  On Linux it will just say failed right now.  I filed a few Breakpad issues to get more interesting error info from the client libs, but this should be a good start.

Looking for approval.  This would give us some visibility into failures to submit crash reports.  It's localized to the crash reporter client.
