[libvirt] [PATCH] daemon: logging: Fix --verbose option being ignored by the daemon

Commit 94c465d0 refactored the logging setup phase but introduced an
issue, where the daemon ignores verbose mode when there are no outputs
defined and the default must be used. The problem is that the default
output was determined too early, thus ignoring the potential '--verbose'
option taking effect. This patch postpones the creation of the default
output to the very last moment when nothing else can change. Since the
default output is only created during the init phase, it's safe to leave
the pointer as NULL for a while, but it will be set eventually, thus not
affecting runtime.
Patch also adjusts both the other daemons.
