Re: [PATCH yocto-autobuilder-helper] scripts/collect-results: copy everything out of tmp/log/oeqa

For me it's a different use case: archiving the logs regardless of whether things fail or not. They can also be just
too large and unwieldy to get printed directly. The patch to testimage.bbclass splits them into directories by image
name, so there's already some layout. The image sub-directories would simply show up e.g. here:

I'm not sure about this since it has the potential to add a lot of files to the
release directories and I suspect that will confuse the releases and people
looking at them. At the very least we need to think about layout here...

When I proposed we improve the logging on the autobuilder, I was thinking more
about printing the logfiles on the console in the failure case. That way the
logs are immediately visible on the autobuilder log output people are looking at
and you don't have to go digging for the files. I can see pros/cons to both
approaches though.

Cheers,

Richard
