Well previously - for the dashboard - we did the rename during the copy [from build location to the dashboard].

If I remember correctly only one generated file had PETSC_ARCH encoded
- that is PETSC_ARCH/lib/petsc/config/reconfigure-PETSC_ARCH.py - so
that its easy to copy/save/reuse this script.

Its not clear to me what type of dashboard we can have in the future -
and how to get the logs there [beyond the current one at gitlab at
https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/pipelines]
