x/build: collect core dumps from builders #49165

@prattmic

Description

@prattmic

Sometimes tests dump core, perhaps with no extra crash information. Investigating these issues would be much improved if we could get the core file from the builder.

This came up recently in https://golang.org/cl/358675, where https://storage.googleapis.com/go-build-log/2fb3aaf5/linux-amd64_26aedb56.log failed with little more than:

signal: segmentation fault (core dumped)
FAIL	runtime	5.189s
FAIL

#35248 is another case where post-submit failures could likely have been fixed without a reproducer if the core dump was available.

I believe there is an issue regarding collecting multiple files from builders generally which is likely a prerequisite for this, though I can't find it...
