Title:
add openjdk hs log to list of acceptable_fields in whoopsie

Bug description:
[Impact]
By default OpenJDK 8 generates an hs_err file when it crashes, this file
contains the stacktrace generated by OpenJDK (thus it contains different data
compared to a gdb stacktrace) plus information on the running threads, classes,
and memory usage (OpenJDK's regions). This file is usually required by the
OpenJDK and/or IcedTea upstream developers when filling a bug and, in the case
of OpenJDK, is more useful than the incomplete stacktrace that GDB can generate
from OpenJDK crashes.
OpenJDK 8 now includes a new apport hook to collect additional data
from crash reports as well as the hs_err log file (in the new
HotspotError key).
A new release is soon reaching Zesty and Xenial with the hook included
and without SRU'ing this fix the hs_err file won't be uploaded to the
error tracker.
[Test Case]
1. Start any java program using OpenJDK 8
2. Kill it with SIGILL
3. Check that the created report contains the hs_err file
[Regression Potential]
If the new key is added to acceptable_fields whoopsie will upload the entries
in it. Currently the OpenJDK apport hook limits this to 100 KB, but changes to
it could allow bigger files with in turn cause an overhead in the error tracker
infrastructure.
[Original bug report]
OpenJDK 8 apport hook attaches the hs_err_pid<pid>.log (if it exists) to a
Crash report under the HotspotError key. The hook is currently limited to
attaching files under 100 KB.
Please add HotspotError key to the whitelist in order for it to be
available in error tracker.
