[issue8117] TimedRotatingFileHandler doesn't rotate log file at startup.

[Yuriy Taraday]

New submission from Yuriy Taraday <yorik.sar at gmail.com>:

Screnario:
 - start logging, log something;
 - stop logging (stop application, for example);
 - start logging again after rotate interval passes.

log4j's RotatingFileAppender's behavior:
After restart, logfile is rotated if nessesary.

TimedRotatingFileHandler's behavior:
After restart do no checks on existing logs.

I thing, log4j's behavior is more intuitive. Patch adds necessary check to constructor.
