Reorder loglines fields

Switch the Universe.loglines attribute's structure to place the log
message first and the log level value second, so that it's
consistent with the order in which those parameters are supplied by
the misc.log() function. While we're adjusting this in the
misc.get_loglines() function, switch the output construction from
concatenation to format strings for improved manageability.
