 In #19515 and other bugs, we seem not to be getting full stack traces for
 issues.

 It is common just to get: "==537696==AddressSanitizer: while reporting a
 bug found another one. Ignoring." or similar, rather than something that
 could be converted with the symbolizer as per
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking#ConvertASansstacktracemessage.

 As per https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/391, it sounds like we
 may just need to add fast_unwind_on_fatal=1 to our ASAN_OPTIONS? Or maybe
 we need to update/switch to the latest stack unwinder:
 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=490275

 I think it is pretty important to get this working, as I've experienced a
 couple crashes I couldn't do anything about. The ability to get valid
 crash report data from the wild from our hardened builds is extremely
 valuable.
