oslo_log also uses inspect for the syslog identity in spawn children (python -c), which resolves to <string>. Disable use_syslog there and clear handlers via list(...) before attaching QueueHandler (logs still go to the parent).

This is a follow up PR for #492 because oslo_log also uses inspect for the syslog identity in spawn children (
python -c), which resolves to<string>. In order to completely fix the issue, we set theuse_syslogtoFalsethere and remove handlers vialist(log_root.handlers)so none are skipped while mutating the live list before attachingQueueHandler(logs still go to the parent).
