[devops] Append to the agent log, instead of creating the file. (#21281)

Append to the agent log, instead of creating the file, when an exception occcurs. The problem is that creating the file fails if it already exists: Exception occurred: Exception calling "Parse" with "1" argument(s): "String '' was not recognized as a valid DateTime." New-Item: /Users/builder/azdo/_work/4/s/xamarin-macios/tools/devops/automation/scripts/generate_agent_logs.ps1:52 Line | 52 | New-Item -Path $Output -Value "$_" | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | The file '/Users/builder/azdo/_work/4/s/agent-logs.log' already exists.
