Default to full gdb backtraces (#21)
Receiving a dump of local variables often reduces the number of requests
for more information in bug reports and speeds up triage. The downsides
(i.e. more output, slightly higher risk of exposing sensitive
information, and hypothetical lack of support in very old gdb) are not
significant enough to preserve the old "less info" default.
AFAICT, gdb supports `backtrace full` since 1998 commit 65b07dd (at
least). Since 2019, gdb prefers `backtrace -full` to `backtrace full`,
but we are not upgrading yet to accommodate older/more environments.
Other debuggers may not support "full", but our instructions are already
gdb-specific, and most folks folks can adapt them as needed.
Also do not distract the reader with an out-of-scope explanation on how
gdb commands may be abbreviated (e.g., "bt" instead of "backtrace").1 parent 639e0e8 commit 0cd8ce7
