Qualify creation of the toaster eventlog based on the setting of the
new
'custom_create_eventlog' property. Place the eventlog in
build/tmp/log,
instead of build and add a timestamp to the eventlog filename since
multiple event logs can be generated during a multi-image buildset
and
otherwise only the last one would otherwise be saved.

Do we really want to catch all exceptions here and ignore them? What
exception might be thrown by the above code?
