Once logging to the database becomes the default, all-machines.log won't be
there any more. It helps that the various machine-*.log files are already
also being collected by the CI infrastructure where possible. This
mitigates the issue somewhat.

What about running "juju debug-log" for the duration of each CI test? This
would mean all the logs end up on the host running the tests negating the
need to scp a file.

Alternatively, the to-be-created tool to dump the logs from the database
could be used after a test completes.
