[Bug 1732518] [NEW] Please re-enable container support in apport

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

The latest security update for apport disabled container crash
forwarding, this is a feature which users do rely on in production and
while it may have been appropriate to turn it off to put a security
update out, this needs to be re-enabled ASAP.

I provided a patch which fixed the security issue before the security
issue was publicly disclosed so pushing an SRU to all Ubuntu releases
re-enabling this code should be pretty trivial.
