I noticed that bug reports include stack traces but they often don't include crash dumps. Because the current build is in an alpha stage, it's advisable to generate crash dumps automatically for this project, even if other crash dumps aren't desired for developers.

Developers and users may not know how to do this easily or even know that you can do this on Windows, so I made a few changes in the README to show users how they may do this. It may also be advisable to add this in the raddbg_readme distributed during releases.

At the point of crash, we can just open task manager and create a full dump with heap. Why need a script or other tools for that at least on windows?

My apologies. I didn't know that task manager could create crash dumps though this might be useful to document as well. Something like this.

In the event of a crash in RadDbg, you can open up task manager, right click on it, and select "Create Memory Dump File"
