[Pulp-list] Hanging unit tests and logs.py

Update:

I still maintain that the logging configuration is busted, but the
reason the tests suddenly started hanging is because of a change to the
test-override-pulp.conf:

[auditing]
lifetime: 0

Removing this line makes them work again.

FYI, I tried disabling the call to start_logging in the tests. That made
Hudson pass again, taking 51 seconds (normal builds are ~5 minutes). So
I still think we should clean up the stop_logging call, but for now the
bigger issue of our tests not running has been fixed.

If that auditing config change was intentional, it'll have to be fixed
and readded. I'm removing it to get the tests running again.
