[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#804705: use smbcontrol in logrotate

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.3.0+dfsg-2

That has been suggested on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1385868
(the Ubuntu package had a bug after the upstart->systemd transition,
which has been fixed now, the change might still make sense though)

"using "smbcontrol all reload-config". This command doesn't return an
error if the services aren't running."

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/210929997/0001-Use-smbcontrol-for-log-rotation.patch

Suggested logrotate script

"/var/log/samba/log.smbd /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {
    weekly
    missingok
    rotate 7
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        smbcontrol all reload-config
    endscript
    compress
    notifempty
}"

Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
