Subject: [PATCH] ccpp: make crashes of processes with locked memory
 not-reportable

Lets begin with a simply policy preventing users from accidental
publication of problem data with security sensitive data.

"not-reportable" problems can still be auto-reported. That is not an
security issue because uReports does not contain any user data stored in
process' memory (only stack-trace without values local|global variables
and function arguments).

Related to #796.
