Bogdan Dobrelya 62cdc3949f Allow custom time constraints to rotate logs
Time based constraints must prevail over size et al
constraints applied for logs of containerized services.
Time based constraints are needed in order to abide
GDPR requirements.

Depending on FS type, Linux may not allow system operators
to access files creation time attribute (see the Birth
attribute shown as '-' by the stat -c %w command).
This is work-arouned by alternative strict time-based rules
defined in the postrotate script, which purges files in
/var/log/containers and ensures GDPR compliant system
configuration, limited to the containerized services logs.

Extended management of life time of journald and /var/log
files residing on bare metal hosts, should be done in
follow up patches.

upgrade:
- |
The 'LogrotatePurgeAfterDays'
enforces cleaning up of information exceeded its life-time
(defaults to a 14 days) in the /var/log/containers directory of
bare metal overcloud hosts, including upgrade (from containers)
cases, when leftovers may be remaining on the host systems.
security:
- |
New heat parameters for containerized services 'LogrotateMaxsize',
'LogrotateRotationInterval', 'LogrotateRotate' and
'LogrotatePurgeAfterDays' allow customizing size/time-based rules
for the containerized services logs rotation.
The time based rules prevail over all.
