[patch] add '-l' to rotatelogs for local time
one of the recurring issues we've seen is with people who
want rotatelogs to do its thing at midnight *local* time.
easily enough done with the offset argument -- but that
gets messy around the daylight savings issues.
the attached patch adds the '-l' option, which causes the
interval to be interpreted as local system time without
the user having to figure out nor change the offset.
it'll probably get a little weird at the transition times,
but this is what people have wanted. *shrug*
if accepted for 1.3, i'll do the appropriate port to 2.[01].

(I haven't reviewed any of the patches at this point in time, but definitely +1
in concept for such a modification.)
