Ian Wienand 694241ad77 docker: install rsyslog to capture container output
This started with me wondering why gerritbot was putting all its
output into /var/log/syslog -- it turns out Xenial docker is
configured to use journalctl (which forwards to syslog) and Bionic
onwards uses json-file.

Both are sub-optimial; but particularly the json-file because we lose
the logs when the container dies.  This proposes moving to a more
standard model of having the containers log to syslog and redirecting
that to files on disk.

Install a rsyslog configuration to capture "docker-*" program names
and put them into logfiles in /var/log/containers.  Also install
rotation for these files.

In an initial group of docker-compose files, setup logging to syslog
which should then be captured into these files.  Add some basic
testing.

If this works OK, I think we can standardise our docker-compose files
like this to caputure the logs the same everywhere.
