CLOUDSTACK-9155 make sure logrotate is effective for cloud.log
Many processes on the VRs log to cloud.log. When log rotate kicks in, the
file is rotated but the scripts still write to the old inode (cloud.log.1 after
rotate). Tis quickly fills up the tiny log partition.
Using 'copytruncate' is a small tradeoff, there is a slight change of
missing a log entry, but in the old situation nothing ended up in cloud.log
after rotate (except for stuff that was (re)started) so I think this is the
best solution until we properly rewrite the script to either use their own
script or syslog.
