Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently when crash is occured, .dmp file is created and this file format can not be attached to issue. Not everyone knows (or able to understand) that solution is to zip this file.

So my suggestion is to zip this file by default and maybe attach it in crash handler.

Research direction
Investigate the current crash handler implementation in the Cutter codebase, likely in C++ files related to crash reporting. The issue suggests modifying it to automatically zip the .dmp file before attaching. Check the issue comments for any discussion about preferred compression libraries (e.g., zlib). Look for existing file handling functions that can be reused.
