Description

Some logging systems will garble or incorrectly sort the backtrace output that logbt returns if simply pushed to stdout/stderr. So, to workaround this problem and to provide the easy ability to look at a group of backtraces in one place, logbt could gain the ability to upload backtraces to a specific location on s3.

Research direction

Start by reviewing logbt's current stdout/stderr backtrace output and its existing command-line options; the issue names no files or tests. Done means logbt can upload backtraces to a specified S3 location so logging systems do not garble or reorder them.
