The low-level installer prints quite a few messages during the install
to its stdout which are not JSON-formatted and thus parseable.

Thus catch them early and write them to `/tmp/install-low-level.log`, to
avoid polluting the log tty at /dev/tty2 with mostly useless parse
errors.

Nothing actually critical, but makes the log tty a lot more useful ..
