DpkgTerminalLog.txt still appears in an update-manager crash report using the version of apport from bionic-proposed.

[Test Case] Because the fix is simple and its complicated to have a dpkg log file with unicode in it we'll just test that truncating of a dpkg log file still works. 1) Install 2vcard (so we have a recent dpkg log entry) 2) Run update-manager 3) Kill it with signal 11 e.g. kill -11 $PID of update-manager 4) Run ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_update-manager.1000.crash 5) Observe DpkgTerminalLog.txt only contains a log entry regarding the installation of 2vcard and matches the content in /var/log/apt/term.log. [Regression Potential] Its possible that the code to replace the DpkgTerminalLog contents of the report is wrong but the test case above ensures that it isn't.
