main: redirectStdFds: keep logger from holding stdout open
We passed our stdout and stderr to the new logger instance, which makes sense to see any error message, but also means that the fd is kept open even when we close it. Fixes the new TestMountBackground test and https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/130 .
