Fix 1Password Crash Report popup

Using the 1Password Desktop Application on Linux has a very annoying side-effect: Prompting you with a Crash Report Popup, when you first open the Application after a fresh boot. You then need to first click ignore and then wait multiple seconds before the actual application starts. This becomes annyoing really quickly especially if you reboot often due to updates, OS specific changes or swichting the OS in Dual Boot.

After some research in the depths of the Internet, some suggest to delete the ~/.config/1Password/crashes/ folder on your system, as the client seems to check on first start whether this folder exists and ask you if you want to send the crash report to 1Password. This folder seems to be created after each reboot, likely caused by not safely shutting down and interpreting it as some sort of crash. Meaning, this is not a one time solution, but needs to be triggered after each boot.

Quick and dirty solution to finally get rid of this annyoing behavior: a oneshot systemd service, deleting the folder in question after boot.
