Summary: logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler - inconsistent mode

Initial Comment:
RotatingFileHandler does not remember the mode used to
open files. By default it will initially open its file
with 'a', but client code may set this to something
else. After rollover, the mode for the new file changes
to 'w'. The behavior is inconsistent with the interface.

At the very least the docstring for __init__ should
change to show that the mode parameter is not respected
after rollover.

This affects previous versions.
