Title:
  Apport does not handle corrupted crash files in all cases

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When whoopsie-upload-all is run over a partially-written crash file,
  it dies deep inside apport:

  https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/trusty-touch-mako-smoke-
  click_image_tests/96/artifact/clientlogs/_usr_share_apport_whoopsie-
  upload-all.0.crash/*view*/

  https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg05847.html

  I think apport should attempt to validate the .crash file before
  processing it further and raise a single exception that can be dealt
  with by consuming applications.
