sandbox: accept SANDBOX_LOG vars whatever their values

Commit 40abb498ca4a24495fe34e133379382ce8c3eaca subtly broke the sandbox
with portage.  It changed how the sandbox log env var was accessed by
moving from getenv() to get_sandbox_log().  The latter has path checking
and will kick out values that contain a slash.  That means every time a
new process starts, a new sandbox log path will be generated, and when a
program triggers a violation, it'll write to the new file.  Meanwhile,
portage itself watches the original one which never gets updated.

This code has been around forever w/out documentation, and I can't think
of a reason we need it.  So punt it.
