askrene: add child_log function so child can do logging.

We just shim rq_log for now, but we'll be weaning the child process off
that soon.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new logging mechanism so that a child process inside the askrene routing plugin can send log messages back to its parent process. It is a plumbing/infrastructure change: a new pipe is created between parent and child, and log messages are serialized over it. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability; it is normal software development.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine code review; if reviewing, verify pipe cleanup on all fork/exit error paths and ensure the temporary am_child shim is eventually removed as planned.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
