1903332 Apport get_config incorrectly drops privileges

Version: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.26 2020-11-05 12:06:17 UTC

  apport (2.20.1-0ubuntu2.26) xenial; urgency=medium

  * data/apport: In the event that the crashing executable does not exist on
    disk any more the path name of the executable (passed by core) is appended
    with '(deleted)' because apport is currently using sys.argv for argument
    parsing there end up being too many arguments and apport crashes. This is
    fixed by adding handling for six arguments. (LP: #1899195)

  * data/apport: Introduce support for non-positional arguments so we can
    easily extend core_pattern in the future (LP: #1732962)
