Logger class patch for hourly log rotation support

Ruby 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7

• gem install hourly_logger_rotator and require "hourly_logger_rotation"
• Or add it to your Gemfile and bundle

Requiring the gem automatically adds an hourly rotation period support to Ruby's standard Logger class. You can initialize it like this:

Logger.new('some_log_file', 'hourly')

Keep in mind that loggers created before the gem is required will not support the hourly rotation period. Specifically, in case of a Rails app, require this before Rails initializes; a good place to do that is in application.rb right after requiring boot

HourlyLoggerRotator.default_rotation_period=(some_period) will make it so newly created loggers have a rotation period of some_period unless you provide an explicit period in the constructor
