David Gibson ff2ff2fbca test: Make log truncation test more robust
test/pasta_options/log_to_file checks that pasta truncates its log file
when started.  It does that by starting pasta with a log file once, then
starting it again and checking that after the second round, the log file
has only one line: the startup banner from the second invocation.

However, this test will break if the second invocation logs any additional
messages at startup.  This can easily happen on a host with multiple
network interfaces due to the "Multiple default route" informational
messages added in 639fdf06e ("netlink: Fix selection of template
interface").  I believe it could also happen on a host without IPv6
connectivity due to the "Couldn't pick external interface" messages, though
I haven't confirmed this.

Make the log file test more robust, by not testing for a single line, but
instead explicitly testing for the PID of the second pasta invocation in
the banner line.
