[RFA] diagnostic.c: Emphasise preprocessed source for bug reports

We get a large number of bug reports without preprocessed source.
There is little point asking people, via "feedback", for preprocessed
source more than 24 hours after the event -- I don't think anyone has
ever responded (quite reasonably IMO - they've long since moved on) to
such a request. This renders many reports useless, that might
otherwise be useful.
So, I'd like to emphasise this more in the diagnostics. I've checked
diagnostic.c compiles. OK to commit this?
Neil.
