this is not the job of logrotate, and the real 20+ years battle
tested log rotate binary does not do so either as it's actually
pretty dangerous.
If we "replace" the file we break any logger which already opened a
new one here, e.g., a dameon starting up, and thus that writer would
log to nirvana.
It's the job of a logger to create a file if not existing, it makes
no sense to do it here.

this is a helper to rotate and iterate over log files
there is an iterator for open filehandles as well as
only the filename
also it has the possibilty to rotate them
for compression, zstd is used
