Every error branch set exitcode and the script then ran off the end, so
a node that could not be read, or a log source that matched nothing,
still exited 0.
Every entry already says which log it came from, so -s narrows the output to
the ones asked for and "-s list" names what a node offers. Some of what a
platform keeps is noise: an AMI MegaRAC's event log is a list of redfish
sessions being opened and closed, while its useful records are elsewhere.
A selection cannot be cleared, since the platforms offer no such thing and
clearing more than was asked for is not something to do quietly.

RHEL8 will no longer tolerate implicit use of python.
For now relent to being python2, though ideally one day
it could be either.
Unfortunately, this means once code is ready for python3, we have to
probably implement build time changes for python3 enabled distros
to have different shebangs than python2 distros.
The suppression was unable to be accomplished for bash without
somehow otherwise breaking the shell. zsh and csh could be better at
one-off glob disabling though.
Various commands may (accidentally or intentionally) encounter
non-ascii data. While python stdout without pipe is fine, when piping
it assumes ascii. Fix this to always assume utf-8 explicitly.
