core: synchronously block when logging
Previously, the logging sockets were asynchronous and if clogged we'd
lose messages. We did this to be extra careful given that PID 1 might
need to spawn the logging daemon as response to PID 1's own log messages
and we really should avoid a deadlock in that case.
As it turns out this causes loss of too many messages, hence make the
socket blocking again, however put a time limit on it to avoid unbounded
deadlocks in the unlikely case they happen.
