Fix dev reporter memory usage - #142

Conversation
When logging at high throughput, we created loads of new green threads to check whether to advertise `log-explorer`. Changing `concurrently_` to `race_` helped reduce growth rate, but didn't fix things. Splitting off a dedicated advertisement thread made memory usage constant.

While investigating #141, I noticed our
stdout-prettyreporter uses ridiculous amounts of ram when logging at high thoughput.The reason is for every iteration of
logLoop, we launch a brand new green thread to advertiselog-explorer.Replacing
concurrently_withrace_helped, but memory usage still wasn't constant.Changing to use a dedicated advertisement green thread fixed it.
