/// \class MinidumpFileBuilder
/// Minidump writer for Linux
///
/// This class provides a Minidump writer that is able to
/// snapshot the current process state.
///
/// Minidumps are a Microsoft format for dumping process state.
/// This class constructs the minidump on disk starting with
/// Headers and Directories are written at the top of the file,
/// with the amount of bytes being precalculates before any writing takes place
/// Then the smaller data sections are written
/// SystemInfo, ModuleList, Misc Info.
/// Then Threads are emitted, threads are the first section that needs to be
/// 'fixed up' this happens when later we emit the memory stream, we identify if
/// that stream is the expected stack, and if so we update the stack with the
/// current RVA. Lastly the Memory lists are added. For Memory List, this will
/// contain everything that can fit within 4.2gb. MemoryList has it's
/// descriptors written at the end so it cannot be allowed to overflow.
///
/// Memory64List is a special case where it has to be begin before 4.2gb but can
/// expand forever The difference in Memory64List is there are no RVA's and all
/// the addresses are figured out by starting at the base RVA, and adding the
/// antecedent memory sections.
///
/// Because Memory64List can be arbitrarily large, this class has to write
/// chunks to disk this means we have to precalculate the descriptors and write
/// them first, and if we encounter any error, or are unable to read the same
/// number of bytes we have to go back and update them on disk.
///
/// And as the last step, after all the directories have been added, we go back
/// to the top of the file to fill in the header and the redirectory sections
/// that we preallocated.
