onbar should be able to restore logs from primary AND HDR RO SECONDARY

... to prevent full backup after HDR primary/secondary switch !

At the moment (Version 12.10.xC14) cold restore after HDR primary/secondary switch is only working if:
- both nodes have the same DBSERVERNAME/INFORMIXSERVER set because the namespace which onbar uses
to store the objects depends on that parameter/environment.
- a complete new ixbar file is build from primary and secondary with correct order
- physical and logical restore must be started from that node that holds the last full backup
- logical restore stops than with object not found (onbar returncode 100) - logical restore suspended
(don't know if RESTARTABLE_RESTORE depends on that - but we have set it)
- logical restore than need to be restarted with data from other node to get last logical logs
- it could be complicated with that workflow if you need a point in time restore
