With v1.2 all logging also went through dovecot master process, each
using their own pipe fd. With v2.0 each service has their own fd (e.g.
all imap processes log via the same shared pipe fd, all pop3 processes
log via another fd, etc). So it should be better in v2.0 than v1.2..

It would be possible to make all processes log directly though, by
adding -L parameter to the service executables.
