Why I did it
The existing log file size in sonic is 1 Mb. Over a period of time this leads to huge number of log files which becomes difficult for monitoring applications to handle.
Instead of large number of small files, the size of the log file is not set to 16 Mb which reduces the number of files over a period of time.
How I did it
Changed the size parameter and related macros in logrotate config for rsyslog
How to verify it
Execute logrotate manually and verify the limit when the file gets rotated.

Added logrotate file for wtmp and btmp to override default conf and set size cap as 100K as done in
PR: #865. For buster this is control by separate file wtmp and btmp.

- Why I did it
This PR has the changes to support having different swss.rec and sairedis.rec for each asic.
The logrotate script is updated as well
- How I did it
Update the orchagent.sh script to use the logfile name options in these PRs(Azure/sonic-swss#1546 and Azure/sonic-sairedis#747)
In multi asic platforms the record files will be different for each asic, with the format swss.asic{x}.rec and sairedis.asic{x}.rec
Update the logrotate script for multiasic platform .
- Why I did it
Move frr logs from syslog from the directory /var/log/quagga/.log to /var/log/frr/log
- How I did it
Updated the rsyslog config files.
- How to verify it
Verified the logs come into the file zebra.log and bgpd.log in the DIR /var/log/frr/log
To fix the following error when running
`logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf` :
```
error: dpkg:10 duplicate log entry for /var/log/alternatives.log
error: found error in file dpkg, skipping
```
update-alternatives is provided with dedicated logrotate config in newer dpkg package versions (probably starting from buster)

* [logrotate] Decrease frequency to every 10 minutes; kill any lingering logrotate processes
* [logrotate] Delete all *.1.gz files as firstaction; Remove note about init-system-helpers < 1.47 workaround
However, continue to send SIGHUP directly to rsyslogd process
because 'service rsyslog rotate' still doesn't work properly with
init-system-helpers version 1.48

- Force log rotation at size thresholds only (no longer also rotating logs daily), allowing for more consistent archived log size
- Eliminate remaining duplicate log messages
- Cron facility now only logs to cron.log (was also logging to syslog)
- Debug, mail, news and user log facilities only log to syslog; no longer creating separate log files for these facilities
- Cron job that calls logrotate every minute now uses the main /etc/logrotate.conf file so as to check/rotate all logs every minute, not just the logs specified in the rsyslog file. Also redirecting output of this command to /dev/null to prevent "(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)" messages in cron.log due to lack of a mail service
- Delete archive files based on remaining /var/log partition space. Note that this solution currently requires a minimum /var/log partition size of 32MB to function correctly
- Update sonic-sairedis and sonic-swss submodules to incorporate recording file name changes
- Add .screen file to .gitignore (unrelated)
