[PATCH 01/11] stalld: add readiness log marker for tests

[Wander Lairson Costa <wander@redhat.com>]

The test helper wait_for_stalld_ready() previously matched
implementation-detail messages like "checking cpu", "waiting
tasks", or "skipping" that appear during the first monitoring
cycle. These messages depend on system state and verbose-mode
internals that could change across refactors.

Add a "monitoring started" log_msg() call at the end of main()
initialization, after write_pidfile() and before entering the
main loop. Update wait_for_stalld_ready() to match this
deterministic marker instead of the old alternation pattern.
