Submit a WER report even if we handle a crash #1296
Description
This would create a synthetic WER report on Windows when one of our backends handles a crash, allowing system administrators to view crashes on their system, as they often do not cooperate with app developers or have access to their error monitoring. I've shared more details in the discussion.
Discussed in #1288

We recently switched to sentry and are pretty happy about it.
One thing which currently is a but ugly, especially for the customer side: They are no longer aware about abnormal program terminations.
When checking for issue you start to dig in the windows reliability monitor (perfmon /rel)
This is gathering its information from the windows eventlog.
It looks like there is no builtin way to let the crasphad handler report issues to the windows eventlog or am i missing something?
Asking ChatGPT it tells me to implement custom handling for it but i wonder as this "Getting an event in windows eventlog" should be something everybody needs 🤔?
