Allow awslogs to use non-blocking mode

When then non-blocking mode is specified, awslogs will:

- No longer potentially block calls to logstream.Log(), instead will
  return an error if the awslogs buffer is full. This has the effect of
  dropping log messages sent to awslogs.Log() that are made while the
  buffer is full.
- Wait to initialize the log stream until the first Log() call instead of in
  New(). This has the effect of allowing the container to start in
  the case where Cloudwatch Logs is unreachable.

Both of these changes require the --log-opt mode=non-blocking to be
explicitly set and do not modify the default behavior.
