Improve stack traces visualization in Sentry #2

Description

@mauriciocolli

For example, wrapped exceptions, very common in Java, are not displayed at the moment and all the traces are just glued together with not indentation. It makes identifying the causes and other things a bit more difficult/impossible since the message from the cause is not displayed.

A very straightforward example of this issue would be this event: issues/4156/events/62029, which the cause would very likely be a exception from the IOException family.

In fact, I bet a lot of the issues that are in Sentry right now are of this kind, a network issue that abruptly left the extractor in a bad state (which should be detected and handled correctly to avoid a full on app crash).

I think it's mainly caused by the way the custom stack trace parsing works, maybe this should be done on the client side, which then would send the information in a sane format and avoid regex in the first place?

Don't know much about Sentry, but would be willing to fix some time in the future if nobody takes care of it.
