logging: ensure virtlogd rollover takes priority over logrotate
    
    The virtlogd config is set to rollover logs every 2 MB.
    
    Normally a logrotate config file is also installed to handle cases where
    virtlogd is disabled. This is set to rollover weekly with no size
    constraint.
    
    As a result logrotate can interfere with virtlogd's, rolling over files
    that virtlogd has already taken care of.
    
    This changes logrotate configs to rollover based on a max size
    constraint of 2 MB + 1 byte. When virtlogd is running the log files will
    never get this large, making logrotate a no-op.
    
    If the user changes the size in virtlogd's config to something larger,
    they are responsible for also changing the logrotate config suitably.
    
    The LXC/libxl drivers don't use virtlogd, but there logrotate config is
    altered to match the QEMU driver config, for the sake of consistency.
