[CQ-Contest] authentication for log submission

[Luc Moreira]

On CQMM DX Contest, we considered the fake logs  possibility.

So, robot save every log sent in (correct or not) on database. If you send
in your log 2, 3 or 10 times, we have each version of your log on database.

Log process will use only latest one, but logs received from different
emails are highlighted for inspection.

73, Luc
