Create an algorithm that always segfaults

Description (last modified by Peter Peterson) (diff)

This will be used in determining various methods for error reporting from mantid. It should only take one option, DryRun which is true by default and just logs that mantid should segfault. There won't be any testing and the algorithm should be "hidden" by default. 

int main(void)
{
    // writing to read-only memory
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault
    char *s = "hello world";
    *s = 'H';
}
