This CL makes it possible to skip a dump if the crashing thread doesn't
have any pointers to a given module. The concrete use case is WebView
where we would like to skip generating microdump output when webview
is unreferenced by the stack and thus cannot be responsible for the
crash in a way that would be debuggable.
The range of interesting addresses is chosen by examining the process
mappings to find the one that contains a pointer that is known to be in
the right shared object (i.e. an appropriately chosen function pointer)
passed from the client.
If the extracted stack does not contain a pointer in this range, then we
do not generate a microdump. If the stack extraction fails, we still
generate a microdump (without a stack).

The stack interest range is passed in MicrodumpExtraInfo from the client.
If the extracted stack does not contain a pointer in this range, then we
assume that this is not a WebView crash, and do not generate a microdump.

Although strictly the GPU fingerprint is defined by the build fingerprint,
there is not currently a straightforward mapping from build fingerprint
to useful GPU / GL driver information.
In order to aid debugging of WebView crashes that occur in GL drivers,
and to better understand the range of drivers and versions for feature
blacklisting purposes, it is useful to have GPU fingerprints in breakpad
microdumps.
