First effort at realtime updating of log files

- With this change, the .log.txt is updated after every said line, so
  that people can catch up to the meeting.
- This is a general mechanism, but not the most efficient for this task:
  It re-opens the file after every line.  This isn't ideal, but was
  easiest to integrate.  There are other considerations, such as the
  fact that filenames can change during the meeting (#meetingname command)
  or file permissions change (#restrictlogs).  I still need to work out
  how to deal with these issues...
