where should config/configure.py put its log

[Satish Balay]

I pushed this change. [moves logs to PETSC_ARCH/conf - and keeps
correct links in PETSC_DIR].

If configure process aborts before PETSC_ARCH is determined, the
logfiles remain in $PETSC_DIR.

So the stuff in PETSC_DIR is always correct - but the ones in
PETSC_ARCH/conf are latest - only if configure goes beyond setting
PETSC_ARCH.

One way to improve on this is to force 'framework' to do
utilities.arch.py much earlier.. [but the current dependencies on
petscdir,languages,compilerflags probably prevents this..].
