As we make this transition, though, we still want the user to be able to watch the commands running in a context, as they previously could from the commands issued in the pane. Add a helper to set up a pane to watch a context's log to allow this. In some cases we currently issue commands from several different logical contexts in the same pane, so allow a pane to watch several contexts at once. Also use tail's --retry option to allow starting the watch before we've initialized the context which will be useful in some cases.
