Remove log collection code in cluster/gce/util.sh.

Also update some docs to mention cluster/log-dump.sh.

+### Debugging clusters
+
+If a cluster fails to initialize, or you'd like to better understand cluster
+state to debug a failed e2e test, you can use the `cluster/log-dump.sh` script
+to gather logs.
+
+This script requires that the cluster provider supports ssh. Assuming it does,
+running
+
+```
+cluster/log-dump.sh <directory>
+````
+
+will ssh to the master and all nodes
+and download a variety of useful logs to the provided directory (which should
+already exist).
+
+The Google-run Jenkins builds automatically collected these logs for every
+build, saving them in the `artifacts` directory uploaded to GCS.

 ### Local clusters
 
 It can be much faster to iterate on a local cluster instead of a cloud-based one. To start a local cluster, you can run:
