Background

Previously, exasupport -i <session-id> could only collect non-rotated session logs, i.e. typically only for sessions from the same day.

Improvement

Now exasupport looks into the .logbackup/log_sql*.tar.gz archives and extracts logs for the requested session, so that session logs for older sessions are also retrievable. exasupport also takes into account that a session might have spanned one or more log rotations, i.e. be present in multiple archives.
