This is a bit strange because, with this patch, the HINT suggests using a
function with the same name as the one it lives in.  IIUC this is because
adminpack's pg_logfile_rotate() uses pg_rotate_logfile(), while core's
pg_rotate_logfile() uses pg_rotate_logfile_v2().  I suppose trying to
rename these might be more trouble than it's worth at this point, though...
