[Bug 1464745] [NEW] logrotate file fails on all but sysvinit

[Cameron Norman]

Public bug reported:

The logrotate file supplied can not work with Upstart or systemd because
it calls `service rsyslog rotate` -- neither support custom actions.
Instead a custom script to send SIGHUP to rsyslog depending on the init
system should be used. It can just use

* `initctl reload rsyslog` with Upstart
* `systemctl kill --signal=SIGHUP --kill-who=main rsyslog.service` with systemd
* `/etc/init.d/rsyslog rotate` with sysvinit

** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
