Change log_ref_setup() to use raceproof_create_file() to create the new
logfile. This makes it more robust against a race against another
process that might be trying to clean up empty directories while we are
trying to create a new logfile.

This also means that it will only call create_leading_directories() if
open() fails, which should be a net win. Even in the cases where we are
willing to create a new logfile, it will usually be the case that the
logfile already exists, or if not then that the directory containing the
logfile already exists. In such cases, we will save some work that was
previously done unconditionally.
