    pluto: change two log messages into a whack_log()

    side effect, fixes compile without FIPS :P

For show commands whack_log() is right.  However when the whack
command is trying to modify internal state I think it should always
leave something in the main log file.
Currently we can be left with no hint of what did or did not happen.

(the related change is to, when debugging is enabled, write any
whack-only output to the log file as a debug log so we can again see
what's going on)

I guess it is not clear at the moment to me what our logging API is.

I was assuming that whack_log() would be the same as logging + whack
message, and not just a whack message. And that the "whack but not log"
for things like status output would be a special whach_log invocation.
