Research direction

Start by reading the twisted.python.logfile module, especially BaseLogFile and the related classes named in the issue, and trace where synchronization is applied. Determine the public non-synchronized variants needed and define coverage that distinguishes their behavior. Done means the requested variants are exposed without the synchronization bottleneck and their behavior is tested.
