`fatal` Logs from `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics` should be marked as unhandled

See original GitHub issue

Problem Statement

When Hosting crashes, it uses M.E.L to log the fatal message. The SDK is able to capture that, but doesn’t flag the exception with any mechanism or handled:false which Sentry uses to tell apart ‘crashes’ from user handled errors:

Solution Brainstorm

Suggestion: In M.E.L, special case fatal level + category (logger) such as Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics to mark exceptions as handled:false.

Alternatively we could consider all level=fatal as handled:false, but I’m not sure of the consequences

level=fatal as handled:false

my instinct says to use this approach, and deal with the consequences as they come up

can u think of an cases where " level=fatal as handled:false" would be the wrong approach?

isnt this what AspNetCoreExceptionProcessor does?

It would appear so. Though I don’t see any reference to fatal.

We need a better repro of the problem to move this forward.
