Even if we don't use UnreportableReason to filter it'd still be useful
to know apport's opinion of the bug report. We regularly see crashes
that failed to retrace and contain the following in the retracer log
file.

 a core dump per gdb.

apport does some checking of the core dump itself and if gdb is
installed would add information like the following to the report.

 699             reason = 'Invalid core dump: ' + warnings.strip()
 700             self['UnreportableReason'] = reason

Having UnreportableReason in the Error Tracker would help us determine,
in this specific case, if the core dump was already corrupt on the
client or became corrupt during upload / saving to swift.

It'd also likely be useful in other cases that we aren't yet aware of.
