Tests: Fix: Use '.logfile' instead of '.log' for test app output

Observed issue
==============

Frequent CI errors related to parsing TAP log files.

E.g.

```
17:04:55 Parsing TAP test result [/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/dev_review_lttng-tools_master_linuxbuild/configurations/axis-babeltrace_version/stable-2.0/axis-build/std/axis-conf/std/axis-liburcu_version/stable-0.14/axis-platform/deb12-amd64/builds/857/tap-master-files/tap/regression/ust/ust-app-ctl-paths/test_blocking.log.d/babeltrace.err.uMIm4i.log].
17:04:55 org.tap4j.parser.ParserException: Error parsing TAP Stream:
Missing TAP Plan.
```

Cause
=====

The TAP collector in the [CI][1] uses `**/*.*`[2] as the ANT pattern
for globbing test log files.

Consequently if, for example,  `./test.log.d/session.XXXXX.log` exists,
the content will try to be parsed as a TAP report and potentially
fail.

The Jenkins TAP plugin[3] does not expose the option of adding
excludes[4] to the globbing pattern.

Solution
========

Use `.logfile` as the suffix and modify the CI TAP collector
configuration to use `**/*.log`, as `.log` is the suffix for test logs
produced when running `make check`[5].

Known drawbacks
===============

None.
