Buffer log messages and explicitly open logs

Prevents stomping on debug logs in datadirs that are locked by other
instances and lost parameter interaction messages that can get wiped by
ShrinkDebugFile().

The log is now opened explicitly and all emitted messages are buffered
until this open occurs.  The version message and log cut have also been
moved to the earliest possible sensible location.
