Summary: SIGHUP causes snmptrapd to close and reopen log file

Initial Comment:
snmptrapd does not provide a mechanism to close and re-open the log file.  This makes \
log rotation problematic as the daemon must be stopped and then restarted.  During \
this time, traps can be lost.  I've modified snmptrapd to close and re-open the \
logfile upon receipt of a SIGHUP.  By using a tool such as logrotate and its \
postrotate script, the logs can be safely rotated without any downtime from the \
daemon.

I've also included a doc patch as well.
