Summary: acct (process and login accounting) fill up instances
/var/ partition

I noticed 'acct' generates log files under /var/log/account/ which is on a 2GB
partition. It is log rotated via a daily cron /etc/cron.daily/acct , keeping
the last day uncompressed.
On deployment-bastion.eqiad.wmflabs that is 542MB currently, or a quarter of
/var/ available disk space.
/etc/default/acct has an option to change the number of day to be kept:
# Amount of days that the logs are kept.
ACCT_LOGGING="30"
Maybe we can reduce it to 15 days?
