Robin Sommer d6cef16f77 Rotation support. ...

This follows rather closely how rotation currently works in
rotate-logs.bro. logging.bro now defines:

        # Default rotation interval; zero disables rotation.
        const default_rotation_interval = 0secs &redef;

        # Default naming suffix format.
        const default_rotation_date_format = "%y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S" &redef;

        # Default postprocessor for writers outputting into files.
        const default_rotation_postprocessor = "" &redef;

        # Default function to construct the name of the rotated file.
        # The default implementation includes
        # default_rotation_date_format into the file name.
        global default_rotation_path_func: function(info: RotationInfo) : string &redef;

Writer support for rotation is optional, usually it will only make
sense for file-based writers.

TODO: Currently, there's no way to customize rotation on a per file
basis, there are only the global defaults as described above.
Individual customization is coming next.
