Problem description

Submitting a lot of forms will cause a crash if they all fail, the error notification won't show because creating the notification causes a background (non-fatal) exception. This happens because the amount of data being included in the notification to be passed on from "Show details" is too large.

There's a crash report demonstrating this here. The number of failures it takes to reproduce was worked out using automated tests.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Fill out and finalize 3000+ forms (with auto-send disabled)
2. Change the server URL in project settings to something incorrect
3. Enable auto send and finalize (to trigger auto-send)

Expected behavior

The notification should be shown, but it will require rework in some way. There are a few options:

• Show a warning that there are too many errors after clicking "Show details"
• Trim the number of errors to avoid the exception
• Rework how errors get passed to ErrorActivity to avoid the problem entirely
