Tom Lane bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 0655b26282 log_destination should only be PGC_SIGHUP, not PGC_POSTMASTER, as per
discussion yesterday.  Also a few improvements in the associated
documentation.

the Admin Guide about routine maintenance tasks.  Currently this only

fleshed out with topics like log rotation.
