DESCRIPTION [edit section]

There are two syslogs saved, one before the test and one after.
By subtracting these two from each other, one can tell what system log
operations occurred during the execution of the test.

This function uses [[function_ov_rootfs_logread|ov_rootfs_logread]] to save
the system log in the /tmp directory on the target.
