Bug Description

show-sel should show non-alerting log lines so an admin can tell when a fault state has cleared.

For instance, I have a host where show-sel shows:

      8 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:35:49 | Status | Power Supply | Critical | Power Supply input lost (AC/DC)
      9 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:35:52 | PS Redundancy | Power Supply | Critical | Redundancy Lost
      10 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:40:44 | Status | Power Supply | Warning | Power Supply input lost (AC/DC)

but clear-sel shows:

      8 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:35:49 | Status | Power Supply | Power Supply input lost (AC/DC)
      9 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:35:52 | PS Redundancy | Power Supply | Redundancy Lost
      10 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:40:44 | Status | Power Supply | Power Supply input lost (AC/DC)
      11 | Oct-08-2020 | 12:40:47 | PS Redundancy | Power Supply | Fully Redundant

It would be extremely useful for admins to be able to see the "Fully Redundant" response from show-sel so they know if it's safe to clear-sel.
