rsyslog supports many optional features, add PACKAGECONFIG
for them to ensures that the dependency on related packages
is deterministic and so that we can easily enable/disable
features.

- Add a logrotate config file for rsyslog.
- Change rsyslog.conf to be compatible with sysklogd.conf.
- Use update-alternatives since we have other syslog systems:
  sysklogd, busybox-syslog, etc.
