Include "terminal output" in Copy Debug Info

Today, upon Anki launch, I received the following error.

I copied the Debug Info into Notepad to try to understand the issue but there was nothing significant in the output.

The output was:

Anki 25.05 (ad073ab1)  (ao)
Python 3.9.18 Qt 6.6.2 PyQt 6.6.1
Platform: Windows-10-10.0.26100

Unknown error===Add-ons (active)===
...

In such cases, the output obtained when Anki is run from a terminal is often helpful for debugging. So, I propose adding that output to the “Copy Debug Info” option in this error dialog. It would make it easier to debug issues.

I suspect this is that chromium cert error that was fixed(?) by Restore cert error check · ankitects/anki@3798423 · GitHub

From what i understand, desktop anki’s error handling intercepts stderr, so the copied debug info is what would have been written to the terminal (within 100ms), which would really have only been “Unknown error” and nothing else
