Update package for changed SIGHUP handling
* The way rsyslog processes SIGHUP has changed. It no longer does a reload
of its configuration, but simply closes all open files. To apply a changed
configuration, rsyslogd needs to be restarted now.
- Drop "reload" action from debian/rsyslog.init, map "force-reload" to
"restart". (Closes: #580897)
- Add "rotate" action to debian/rsyslog.init which sends SIGHUP to
rsyslogd. Use that in debian/rsyslog.logrotate. (Closes: #626365)
- Update debian/rsyslog-mysql.postinst and rsyslog-pgsql.postinst to use
restart instead of reload.
- Add a NEWS file explaining the changed SIGHUP handling.
