[cod] Log file rotation

You'll need logsync set to 1 for this to work.  Otherwise it only writes
the log at every map_rotate (and writes it slowly for the first few
minutes of the new map to avoid lag I guess).

It can be used in the cfg file or from the command line.
set g_logsync "1"

Subject: [cod] Log file rotation

Has anyone had any problems with setting up log file rotation. If find 
that if I move the games_mp.log file (to say games_mp.1.gz) then CoD 
does not start a new games_mp.log and wont write to an empty 
games_mp.log put in its place (a touched file). In fact, the only way I 
seem able to get cod to start writing to the log is to restart the 
server. :-(

Ideally I'd like to rotate the logs every hour as part of a cron job 
which also updates the mohstats (I don't want mohstats to keep reading 
the same data in the file and create duplicate entries in the stats).
