New logging is guarded by cmake LOG_LIST_ACTIONS define. To make it more
efficient it is allocated as a linked list with chunks of length
2^(7+chunk_num); that uses basically the same idea as behind increasing kvec
length (make appending O(1) (amortized)), but reduces constant by not bothering
to move memory around what realloc() would surely do: it is not like we need
random access to log entries here to justify usage of a single continuous memory
block.
