As a part of making the Qt Creator build reproducible, ensure that the
build time isn't by default encoded into the binaries.

...by adding QTC_NO_CRASH_HANDLER=1 to the run environment.
This is important for nightly tests since these should be able to create
a core dump file.

This will launch a new instance of Qt Creator attaching to the crashed
instance.
The 'Restart' functionality is now represented as a check box since it
would be confusing to have one button that restarts the app and quits
the crash handler and another one that starts a debugger but keeps the
crash handler open (which is necessary, otherwise the crashed app will
quit).

Use case: You're working with a debug version of Qt Creator and you're
interested in getting a backtrace displayed as soon as Qt Creator
crashes without searching for the core file, starting your debugger, ...
Once a 'serious signal' (currently SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS,
SIGPIPE) is delivered, a popup displays the following debug information:
- Qt Creator version (same as in the about dialog)
- Kernel version (uname -a)
- GNU/Linux Distribution (/etc/lsb-release)
- Backtrace (by gdb)
Please note that this crash handler is built and used only in debug mode
on GNU/Linux. It's solely meant as a convenience tool for the developer.
In contrast to the breakpad integration, this crash handler operates
'offline'. There is no network i/o involved.
