When Multipass daemon isn't running, show tail of logs in client #5100

Description

@jimporter

What are you trying to do?
Sometimes, something goes wrong with multipassd that prevents it from running. There's usually something in the logs that helps explain what happened, but we currently expect users to go looking for those logs. This would make it easier for users to diagnose bugs like #5035.

What's your proposed solution?
Instead, we could display the last few lines of the log to the user whenever the daemon isn't running so that it's easier to figure out what happened. Alternately, we could just tell the user what command to run on their system to look at the logs.
