Read database logs

Read the newest lines of the database's own log, up to 500 (tail, default 100). Passwords and connection-string credentials are removed from every line. A database that is not running has no logs: lines is empty and reason says why.

GET/api/customer/v1/projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/logs
