Bug description:
Impact
======
apport-unpack and whoopsie-upload-all can crash when fed with a
malformed problem report. They should print a proper error message
instead of crashing.
Test Plan
=========
1. Create malformed report:
```
printf "CoreDump: base64\n H4sICAAAAAAC/0NvcmVEdW1wAA==\n 7Z0LYFPV/cdP0rQ\n"
> malformed.crash
```
2. Try to unpack it:
```
apport-unpack malformed.crash unpack
```
It should print an error message instead of a stack trace.
Where problems could occur
==========================
The patch touches the problem report handling and therefore can affect
apport-unpack, apport-bug, whoopsie-upload-all. The change is covered
with tests and apport has a test suite running during build and as
autopkgtest.
