Move log opening to appropriate execution phase

When piped logs are opened during parsing of configuration
it results in unexpected situations in apache httpd
and can cause hang of process which is trying to log
into auditlog.

Code should work as before, with the exception of
one additional condition evaluation when primary
audit log is not set and secondary audit log
path to piped executable is now not relative
to server root.
