[openstack-dev] [tripleo] Log collection of overcloud nodes

Hey folks,

So as part of the capture-environment-status-and-logs blueprint[0],
I'm working on adding a single command to perform status and log
collection of the overcloud nodes via the tripleoclient that can be
used on the undercloud.  I would like to bring up switching over to
this as part of our CI log collection activities as many of the
relevant logs we want are already captured via the sosreport tool.
Additionally this is the way many operators are collecting and
reporting their logs when submitting issues.

I think this would benefit us to switch as sosreports also capture
additional status of the services at the time of  the report and we
can improve sosreports via plugins to help diagnose frequent service
related problems.  I believe we're duplicating some of the items
already covered via sosreport in tripleo-quickstart-extras[1] and I
think it would be beneficial to not continue to duplicate this work
but rather use already available tooling.  For CI once we have these
sosreport bundles, it would be fairly straight forward to only extract
relevant information for debugging use.

If you have some time, please review the outstanding reviews[2] and
provide concerns around possibly switching over to relying on
sosreport for our log collection.

Thanks,
-Alex
