Subject: [PATCH] fix: convert session data build_target to table if needed

PR #332 introduced handling for multiple targets. Yet, old session data
still has the build_target stored as string resulting in an error when
trying to unpack the string when forming the --target arg.
This PR fixes this issue by converting old session data to the new
format, if needed
