[STORM-1024] Pass -Dstorm.log.dir arg to LogWriter The log4j variable `${sys:storm.log.dir}` is used in `worker.xml` to set the fileName however the system property was not being set while launching worker (via LogWriter) causing a directory by the name ${sys:storm.log.dir} to be created under `STORM_HOME` dir.
