We do this by creating an umbilical between the CLI and the daemon. The
daemon pipes log messages to the CLI until it starts the main loop. The
daemon then cuts the umbilical. The CLI copies all the received log
messages to stderr, and the last byte indicates whether the daemon
started succesfully or not, so the CLI can exit with a useful exit code.
This allows tincctl to receive log messages from a running tincd,
independent of what is logged to syslog or to file. Tincctl can receive
debug messages with an arbitrary level.
Instead of UNIX time, the log messages now start with the time in RFC3339
format, which human-readable and still easy for the computer to parse and sort.
The HUP signal will also cause the log file to be closed and reopened, which is
useful when log rotation is used. If there is an error while opening the log
file, this is logged to stderr.
