The reason this change was made is that Samba otherwise logs
to /usr/local/samba (or whatever the prefix is) during startup of make
test, and that's not a good idea.

If our stdout logging isn't useful for a developer, then it probably is
equally useless for our end users and then we need to fix that.

Also, using a predicable filename also makes it possible for the
selftest system to capture the server-side logs of a failing test.  (See
getlog_env() in selftest/target/Samba4.pm and
selftest/target/Samba3.pm).  This wasn't done properly in the past.
