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. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66664
