Addon to help in bug tracing

Development Bug triage

@kku has shared an experimental addon that can help in bug triage. It adds access to the stack trace from error dialogs.

Thanks Kari!

For fatal errors it is probably better to the ErrorView class:

import logging
LOG = logging.getLogger(".")
LOG.error("Error message")

This will give a stacktrace and allow the user to report the problem using the error report assistant.

The ErrorDialog should be used for recoverable errors. If you want to extend this, then I suggest using the expander widget and label used in the ErrorView class.
