Until now, an active-ack is sent before logs of a container are collected. If one customer writes a lot of logs or if log-collection is slow for some other reason, the invoker already gets new activations, that are queueing up. This PR changes the behavior, to send the active-ack (for non-blocking) activations after log collection is finished. For blocking actions, there are two active acks now. One with the response for the user and one to free up the space in the bookkeeping of the loadbalancer.
