Description

The minidumps that are archived in our Jenkins jobs are unusable because we do not save the symbols that are required to extract stack traces. As part of the log archiving process, we should:

1. Extract the necessary symbols and save them into the $IMPALA_HOME/logs directory.
2. Automatically collect the backtraces from the minidumps and save them into $IMPALA_HOME/logs directory in a text file
