sigil-log,sigil-mcp: make logging non-fatal on format/port failure

Message

Wrap emit-log's body in a guard so any formatting or port-write failure falls back to a minimal plain line instead of raising. A log call is a side effect; letting it escape has taken down whole MCP tool calls.

Also mirror be716823's pattern at the success-path log-debug call sites in sigil-mcp/server.sgl — both the pre-dispatch and post-dispatch log-debug invocations in handle-tools-call are now guarded, not only the error-path log-error.

Adds a regression test: logging to a closed port and logging with structured fields to a closed port must not raise.
