pmbootstrap log: use tail -F, not -f

Administrator requested to merge tail-F into master

Let tail attempt to open the file again, if it becomes inaccessible. This is useful, when writing a reproducer that deletes pmbootstrap's log.txt while at the same time running 'pmbootstrap log'.

tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory
tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has appeared;  following new file
