observer: Add SASL log view for processes
Add a new menu to toggle log view. Disabled by default. Disabled if rb_server already started on observed node, in order not to interfere with somebody else. If enabled, add a tab in process view where log entries related to pid process are shown. Need an observed node with at least a version R16B2, due to the use of newly capability to rb to write into a file descriptor (on the observing node).
