Error Report (feature)

Finding error's is currently rather difficult. If you're not a UNIX sysadmin just locating errors or knowing which logfile to read is almost impossible.

Idea:

Have something in in the GUI that creates a "error report", it would then compile a big zip-file with debug-output that people can download and post on the forum.

Just run a few command's and put the output into a separate file into the tarball.

Example of command to run as part of diagnostics:

df mount ps auxwww lsof -n

Of course we should include logs from:

mysql
telldusd

As a emergency option the same should be possible from the command-line by maybe adding some stuff to manage.py or similar, since many times people have problems the http-interface will be broken.
