crashinfo: Create core.txt.last symlink
When saving a coredump, savecore(8) maintains .last symlinks for the
info and vmcore artifacts, but not for the crashinfo text report.
Make crashinfo(8) create the link, pointing at the current
core.txt.<bounds> file.
This makes /var/crash/core.txt.last track the same core dump as
info.last and vmcore.last.
[mhorne: I tweaked the submission, such that the link will be created as
soon as the core.txt.X file is generated; not only after a successful
report has been written.]
