[Bug 1306361] [NEW] ~/.cache/upstart/ logs are not rotated often enough

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * ~/.cache/upstart contains user session logs which are rotated upon
login. But due to excellent hibernate & syspend/resume people can spend
weeks without re-logging in. Thus those logs can grow uncontrollably.

[Test Case]

 * Monitor logs in ~/.cache/upstart note how many of them can be uncompressed
 * With updated packages, those should be rotated every hour (17 minutes past the hour by default)

[Regression Potential]

 * user session logrotation was already inplace, we are now adding one
more start on condition to it, which is triggered via system cron.hourly
