Fix data race with command log (#5779)

LogAction and LogCommand are called from git worker goroutines (every
command a worker runs logs itself, and controllers log an action before
kicking off their worker), where they set the Extras view's Autoscroll
flag and append to GuiLog while the UI thread reads both when it lays
out and draws the view. Bounce the writes onto the UI thread instead.

This doesn't fix any user-visible issue that I know of; labelling it as
"maintenance" rather than "bug" for that reason. It is one of many steps
that gets us closer to running our test suite with `-race`.
