Log retrieval jobs

Instead of a synchronous call, Vidispine can also start a pseudo-job that creates the log report in the background. This is not a real Vidispine job, so there are no priorities, notifications, etc.

In case of a restart of Vidispine, the job is aborted. Finished jobs are stored in a temporary location, however.
