Subject: [PATCH] Configure log rotation for frigate.log

## Size-based rotation:
- When frigate.log reaches 100MB, it rotates immediately

## Time-based rotation:
- Daily at midnight (default logback behavior)

## How it works:
1. **During operation**: If the file hits 100MB, it gets rotated right away to `frigate.YYYY-MM-DD.0.log.gz`
2. **Daily**: Even if the file is smaller than 100MB, it rotates at midnight to `frigate.YYYY-MM-DD.0.log.gz`
3. **Multiple rotations per day**: If the file hits 100MB multiple times in one day, you get `frigate.YYYY-MM-DD.0.log.gz`, `frigate.YYYY-MM-DD.1.log.gz`, etc.

## Cleanup:
- Keeps 30 days of rotated logs
- Maximum 3GB total log storage
- Old files are automatically deleted
