Instead of giving an example of rotating logs at the end of the month,

give an example of how to rotate logs at the beginning of the month.
Although they sound the same, since both of them rotate logs at the
beginning of the day, the former ended up taking place on, e.g., July
31 00:00 instead of the expected July 31 23:59. This is contraty to POLA.

A slight bit of code and doco cleanup, but mostly:
...
Add the much-needed and long-desired ability to force the log rotation
to take place on a specific day or time, and document same. This works
by extending the syntax of the `when' field to allow a restricted
ISO 8601 time specification, and performing the log rotation if newsyslog
is run during the same hour as is specified.
