Previously we would pass the path `/var/log/service.log` for both
stdout and stderr to containerd. containerd would construct a dict
with the paths as keys[1] and, due to the duplicate key, would only
open one of the files and start one `io.Copy` instance. Writes to
the other stream would be buffered by the pipe connected to
containerd-shim and would eventually block.
If we modified containerd to open the file twice and start 2
`io.Copy` instances, we would end up with the two streams interleaved
together. It seems cleaner to keep the streams separate; therefore
this patch logs stdout to `/var/log/service.out.log` and stderr to
`/var/log/service.err.log`.
