Summary

Chrome 145 adds support for the Crash Reporting API; see https://chromestatus.com/feature/6228675846209536.

Most of the BCD for this API has already been added; however, I wanted to add a data point for the crash report type. The data for the different report types is contained under api.ReportingObserver.ReportingObserver.options_parameter.types_property, so I added it under there. This data is also used as the BCD for each report type dictionary; I'll need it when documenting CrashReportBody.

This is a bit weird, as crash reports aren't observed by reporting observers, but I think you can still specify them as a valid report type in the constructor types list.

If this report is never observed in the only implementing browser, then we should probably mention this in the notes? However, it is also not really clear what support means then if there is no effect?

I've tried adding a note to explain this. Let me know what you think. This is a weird situation, but it is still useful to know that the report type is not observed.
