Feature: Allows "-" as filename for the `--log` option.
Feature: Log to stdout using the `--log -` option
When (e.g. for debugging purpose) the rest server is invoked like
Logging to stdout was possible using `--log /dev/stdout`. However,
when the rest server is run as a different user, for example, using
sudo -u restic rest-server … --log /dev/stdout
`sudo -u restic rest-server [...] --log /dev/stdout`
it tries to open `/dev/stdout` (O_CREATE, O_WRITE, O_APPEND). This
operation fails, as in the above invocation, `/dev/stdout` is owned by
the caller (here: root) and only writable for the caller. Subprocesses
get just the filedescriptor. Using `/proc/self/fd/1` didn't work either,
for the same reasons.
this did not work due to permission issues.
For logging to stdout, the `--log` option now supports the special
filename `-` which also works in these cases.
