qemu: monitor: Add infrastructure to access VM logs for better err msgs

Early VM startup errors usually produce a better error message in the
machine log file. Currently we were accessing it only when the process
exited during certain phases of startup. This will help adding a more
comprehensive error extraction for early qemu startup phases.

This patch adds infrastructure to keep a file descriptor for the machine
log file that will be used in case an error happens.
