Implement "pg_ctl logrotate" command

Browse Source 
Currently there are two ways to trigger log rotation in logging collector
process: call pg_rotate_logfile() SQL-function or send SIGUSR1 signal directly
to logging collector process.  However, it's nice to have more suitable way
for external tools to do that, which wouldn't require SQL connection or
knowledge of logging collector pid.  This commit implements triggering log
rotation by "pg_ctl logrotate" command.
