daemon/logger: open log reader synchronously

The asynchronous startup of the log-reading goroutine made the
follow-tail tests nondeterministic. The Log calls in the tests which
were supposed to happen after the reader started reading would sometimes
execute before the reader, throwing off the counts. Tweak the ReadLogs
implementation so that the order of operations is deterministic.
