Create and distribute a diagnostics tool

Looking for an equivalent of cbcollect_info.

Currently re-purposing cbcollect_info as sgcollect_info.

In support, we use tools to automatically parse cbcollect_infos, it would be very nice to be able to do this for sgcollect_infos too, as you are repurposing the system level information from cbcollect this should be possible.

I just have one ask and that is to easily be able to identify if the zip file if an sgcollect_info or a cbcollect_info, just something like 'sync gateway logs' at the top of one of the files would be great.

cbcollect_info is also a moving target, would it be possible to have a shared library between sgcollect_info and cbcollect_info so that updates to system stats in one get reflected in the other ?

[mattcarabine]

I realise my previous was very poorly defined, something along the lines of renaming couchbase.log (the main system level information) to sync_gateway.log would be fantastic. It means we can determine whether or not a zip file is a cbcollect or an sgcollect without even having to open and parse any of the contained files.

@mattcarabine good point. This is a WIP, so nows the time to throw in requests. :)

@b33f this is a good idea. The system tasks code alone would be very useful to have on PIP. The S3, CBSE tagging stuff, etc., probably not so much, but still a prime candidate for a module.
