    Allow to trigger rotatelogs log file rotation from · a4b6783b
    Rainer Jung authored
    using HUP and INT signals to the rotatelogs process.
    
    This is helpful, when log activity is low, but you want
    rotatelogs to close the open log files.
    
    SIGHUP triggers checking the rules given during startup,
    SIGINT forces rotate independently form those rules.
    
    When the signal triggers a rotation, the open file
    is closed immediately. The new file is opened when
    new log data arrives, or in case "-f" was given it
    is opened immediately.
    
    Based on my patch in BZ 44427.
    
    Note on Windows: The new functionality is undefined when
    SIGHUP or SIGINT are not available. Does the use case
    make sense on Windows? If so, which signals should we use?
