filter.py: repair start-time of initial seek to time (regardless the position of `findtime` option in config);

jailreader.py: additionally relocate the option `logpath` after all log-related data (backend, date-pattern, etc) that may be needed by the first usage (gh-2173).
Thanks to Matt Stancliff (mattsta)
