Trigger wxLog auto-creation when getting old logger in wxLogChain ctor.

This ensures that a program that uses wxLogChain or one of the classes
deriving from it, such as wxLogWindow, can do it directly without worrying
about the standard logging being completely suppressed if the default log
target hadn't been instantiated yet.
