601114 - update minidump_stackwalk in Socorro production to latest Breakpad SVN (r704)

I landed some stackwalker fixes in Breakpad for bug 571578 (which is a Firefox 4 blocker). We need to update the production minidump_stackwalk binaries to the latest Breakpad SVN (r704 or newer) to pick these changes up.

I updated this in staging. Can I get a verification that everything is working before I push to production?

Chofmann, do you know how to verify this?

ted should say for sure, but verifying that we get good stacks out of 64-bit Linux and OS X seems like what is going on in bug 571587.  I'd say this bug is only about landing those changes and the verification should be done over there.

some sample reports from 64 bit OSes could be run through the processor to verify on stage.   I think lars does this kind of testing of feeding the processor, but I don't know if we have a sample of reports from 64 bit systems.

I can try verifying this on stage tomorrow. Should be enough to submit a crash using "Crash me now!" on Linux64 or Mac64 and look at the full thread list. Without this change the non-crashing threads would probably all have just one frame, in some system library. With this change we should have a few more frames.

I submitted a report to stage but it seems to be hung up:

There's some error message in there, perhaps processing on stage is busted?

Don't push it until we sort out these issues on staging, please, thanks Jabba!

Ok, this looks good in staging! Compare:

Specifically, click "Other threads" and note the length of the stack traces.
