Description

There are situations where a stack trace is not always available, in fact, the code path StatelessXmlReporter is structured in a way that it can lead to an empty/missing type from a stack trace. This would require to write a blank or a bogus value to satisfy the schema. This does not make sense. We should make this optional to better accommodate reality. See SUREFIRE-2232 for details.
