Issues: syslog-ng/syslog-ng#5541

The problem

Recently, starting with syslog-ng OSE version 4.10 file destinations acquired new option: logrotate(). This PR does three things:

  • inserts logrotate() option usage first in enumeration of log rotate approaches
  • adds link to log rotation page in the relevant place
  • fixes typos in top-level README.

@HofiOne, in the original issue you mentioned:

usage of external logrotators with reload/restart

Which I find a bit confusing because I thought that adding REOPEN command was done just to avoid reloading/restarting syslog-ng. If I'm wrong here and syslog-ng-ctl reopen cannot be used instead of reload/restart, I will remove relevant change in this PR.
