Message:

Defer failed log messages

Previously, when we failed to open a logging file, we errored, and
dropped the log message.  This commit makes it so that, if the reason we
failed was a permissions error, we instead add the log entry to a queue
of messages to be logged eventually, and inform the user that logging
has been suspended.  The user must run :flush-logs to resume logging.

If :flush-log has an fopen that fails with EPERM or EACCES, we re-defer
messages and inform the user.

On shutdown, BarnOwl will attempt to log all messages currently in the
queue one last time.
