Avoid recursion in virtual_output_callback_func()

This solves a SEGV situation when using the management API while OpenVPN
is closing down.

The situation happens when the management socket has closed and OpenVPN
tries to write an error about this to the management socket.  What happens
is that

 virtual_output_callback_func() is called, which then calls
 -> man_output_list_push_finalize()
    -> man_output_standalone()
       -> man_write()  <-- this does the socket write
          -> man_io_error()
             -> x_msg()
                -> virtual_output_print()
                   -> virtual_output_callback_func() (recursion start)

virtual_output_callback_func() do have a mechanism to avoid recursion,
but that did not keep the recurse counter when
man_output_list_push_finalize()
is called.

This patch just reorganise the recursion block to also keep the counter
while
calling the other functions from virtual_output_callback_func()
