Doc Text:	.RHEL rotates `firewalld` log files Previously, RHEL did not rotate `firewalld` log files. As a consequence, the `/var/log/firewalld` log file grew indefinitely. This update adds the `/etc/logrotate.d/firewalld` log rotation configuration file for the `firewalld` service. As a result, the `/var/log/firewalld` log is rotated, and users can customize the rotation settings in the `/etc/logrotate.d/firewalld` file.	Story Points:	---

Description Robert McSwain 2019-09-20 20:48:07 UTC

Description of problem:
as long as logs are not rotated they will grow indefinitely and eventually take unnecessary amounts of disk space, it'd seem best to add log rotation regardless in an upcoming version.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHV-M 4.2.8 and 4.3.5, and the latest hypervisors for both releases

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the hypervisor and observe that firewall logs do not rotate. 
2. Observe that there is no policy to rotate logs in /etc/logrotate.d/

Actual results:
Logs grow indefinitely

Expected results:
Logs rotate once a week or more

Moving this to platform firewalld component. Assuming this is a real issue, it should be solved at platform level.
