fuzz: add instructions for building reproducers

We have several scripts that help build reproducers, but no
documentation for how they should be used. Add some documentation

Building Crash Reproducers
-----------------------------------------
When we find a crash, we should try to create an independent reproducer, that
can be used on a non-fuzzer build of QEMU. This filters out any potential
false-positives, and improves the debugging experience for developers.
Here are the steps for building a reproducer for a crash found by the
generic-fuzz target.
- Ensure the crash reproduces::
qemu-fuzz-i386 --fuzz-target... ./crash-...
- Gather the QTest output for the crash::
QEMU_FUZZ_TIMEOUT=0 QTEST_LOG=1 FUZZ_SERIALIZE_QTEST=1 \
qemu-fuzz-i386 --fuzz-target... ./crash-... &> /tmp/trace
- Reorder and clean-up the resulting trace::
scripts/oss-fuzz/reorder_fuzzer_qtest_trace.py /tmp/trace > /tmp/reproducer
- Get the arguments needed to start qemu, and provide a path to qemu::
less /tmp/trace # The args should be logged at the top of this file
export QEMU_ARGS="-machine ..."
export QEMU_PATH="path/to/qemu-system"
- Ensure the crash reproduces in qemu-system::
$QEMU_PATH $QEMU_ARGS -qtest stdio < /tmp/reproducer
- From the crash output, obtain some string that identifies the crash. This
can be a line in the stack-trace, for example::
export CRASH_TOKEN="hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c:1865"
- Minimize the reproducer::
scripts/oss-fuzz/minimize_qtest_trace.py -M1 -M2 \
/tmp/reproducer /tmp/reproducer-minimized
- Confirm that the minimized reproducer still crashes::
$QEMU_PATH $QEMU_ARGS -qtest stdio < /tmp/reproducer-minimized
- Create a one-liner reproducer that can be sent over email::
./scripts/oss-fuzz/output_reproducer.py -bash /tmp/reproducer-minimized
- Output the C source code for a test case that will reproduce the bug::
./scripts/oss-fuzz/output_reproducer.py -owner "John Smith <john@smith.com>"\
-name "test_function_name" /tmp/reproducer-minimized
- Report the bug and send a patch with the C reproducer upstream
