server/process: Disable the flush() call in server logging
We've been chasing bitbake timeouts for a while and it was unclear where things
were blocking on IO. It appears the flush() call in server logging can cause
pauses up to minutes long on systems with slow (spinning) disks that are heavily
loaded with IO.
Since the flush() was added to aid debugging of other timing issues, we shouldn't
need it now and it can be disabled. Leave a comment as a reminder of the pain this
can cause.
