Crash report link GUID

[milo christiansen]

With the new crash uploader, submitting a crash report is automatic, but sometimes it would be nice to have a way to provide more details about the crash.

Rather than making users upload the report to the forum with the extra info they want to add, why not give each report a GUID? This GUID would be available to the user as a way to link an uploaded report with an optional detailed forum post.

Probably the simplest way to add this would be to print a GUID to the log file when the game starts, before anything else. This way the link ID would be right at the top of the log, where it is easy to find.

The user can then go to the forum and say "My game crashed, the report GUID is X, and this is what I was doing".
