Add a new newsyslog.conf flag - 'G', which if set tells newsyslog(8) that
the specified filename of the log to be rotated is in fact shell glob
pattern. In this case, all files matching this pattern will be rotated
using the same options. Useful in the case when there is no pre-defined
name for the logfiles (e.g. xtradius, samba etc).
