Fold the full exception trace into failure reports

Generate-PDB and assembly-node decompile failures reported only the exception
Message, which is too thin to act on: the runtime-async PDB-generation crash
surfaces as a bare "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" with
no indication of where it came from. Append the whole exception (type, message,
stack trace, inner exceptions) inside a default-collapsed "Exception details"
fold so the report stays scannable while the trace is one click away.

The fold span is counted in WriteLine() calls rather than embedded newline
characters, so the trace is emitted one line per WriteLine() -- a single
Write() of the multi-line string would collapse to one counted line and be
dropped as a single-line fold.

Also fixes the PDB tab title showing a literal "{0}": the GeneratingPortablePDB
resource is a format string whose placeholder was never filled.
