Bug Description

To make users more aware of existing crashes that should/could be reported, please mention the number of crashes in the motd (if there are any).

I think there should also be an informational message about how to report the crash(es) as is done with messages in the motd. Example:

1 device has a firmware upgrade available.
Run `fwupdmgr get-upgrades` for more information.

0 updates can be applied immediately.

New release '22.04.1 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

So "Run 'apport-cli /var/crash/$package.crash'". Ideally running 'apport-cli' would prompt you about the pending crash reports in /var/crash instead of you having to pass the specific crash file to 'apport-cli'.

Personally, I'd like to see this implemented so that we get crash reports from more systems so I've tagged it foundations-triage-discuss in the hopes it'll move to foundations-todo.
