Improve daemon_open_log_or_die().

If the log file can not be re-opened, the error message is lost
because the log file has already been closed when PARA_EMERG_LOG() is
called. We can do better by deferring the call to daemon_close_log()
until the new log file has been opened.

With the patch applied, the reason why the (new) log file could not
be opened is logged to the old file.
