[plugins] improve heuristic for applying --since to logarchives
logarchive_pattern treats some configs (e.g. /etc/dbus-1) as log
archives, causing --since option will skip collecting them.
This patch just improves the heuristic by claiming nothing under /etc
is a logarchive, and adds a warning to sosreport help.
Improves: #1847
