Having on_crash set to either coredump-destroy or coredump-restart creates core dumps with option memory-only in the directory specified by auto_dump_path. When a watchdog is triggered with the action dump the core dump is also placed into the directory specified by auto_dump_path but is created without the option memory-only. This patch sets the option memory-only also for core dumps created by the watchdog event.
