Crash popups were being displayed even when Blender was running in
background mode, causing the process to hang and blocking automated
workflows (e.g., render farms).
Therefore, disable the crash popup when running in background mode.

Implements a crash dialog for Windows.
The crash popup provides the following actions:
- Restart: reopen Blender from the last saved or auto-saved time
- Report a Bug: forward to Blender bug tracker
- View Crash Log: open the .txt file with the crash log
- Close: Closes without any further action

The `_EXCEPTION_POINTERS` structure is valid only within the context of
the `UnhandledExceptionFilter` function.
After the function exits, the memory referenced by the pointer might no
longer be valid or the exception information.
The solution for this was to create `BLI_system_backtrace_with_os_info`
and passing a system-specific data as the second argument.
`BLI_system_backtrace` calls `BLI_system_backtrace_with_os_info` with a
null second argument internally.

This was a debug feature for developers that allowed writing the last MemFile
undo step as a .blend file when Blender crashed. This was rarely/never used
nowadays and is now removed.
This is in preparation for #106903 which removes support for writing `MemFile`
undo steps as .blend files.
These reports were embedded in the window manager DNA,
but they were always cleared when reading it from files. It's clearer
to just not store the reports in files at all. I also moved the reports
initialization and freeing to the constructor and destructor of the
runtime class.
This is the only place `ReportList` was embedded in DNA, so
after this we can move that to use C++ features if we want.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
