It is not possible to create coredumps with snaps

[Bugra Aydogar]

Hi,

There is no official documentation on how to create coredumps using Ubuntu Core and Snaps.
I have found an old discussion in the forum. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/core-dumps-in-snapd/920

As suggested; one should apply the following commands to create coredumps but it does not work.
```
ulimit -c unlimited
sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
sudo sh -c 'echo /home/<my-user>/snap/my-snap/core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern'
```
I attached an example application to ease the reproducing effort.

Thanks,
Bugra

To Canonical team, please could you start looking into this enablement of coredumps in the snap? Here at Honeywell there is the urgent need to have post-mortem analysis tools available for our application when running as a snap. Meanwhile, do you have another post-mortem analysis tools that can be used with snaps?
