[bug] store logs in the right place

Load flags before creating logger so the logs path considers the
standalone flag.

Move the log file path definition to the function, otherwise it will
calculated during import and (most likely) before defining the
flags.STANDALONE value.

Create logger inside `run_frontend` right after knowing if we are
standalone or not.
