eldritch horrors 1a0d05d852 libstore, build-remote: delete static ssh:// fds
this was a mess. ssh:// remotes used the extra static fds for build
logs, ssh-ng:// remotes did not. ssh-ng remotes did not use them at
all since ssh-ng never redirected them to begin with. we now create
pipes dynamically and only for ssh:// builders, then translate logs
received over these pipes into the same format used by ssh-ng. this
requires a new activity we did not have before, but since we have a
great many activities that rarely show up already this shouldn't be
a problem for external tooling. if anything external tools can tell
what's going on much better now (at least for ssh:// remote builds)
