If anything in start_new_log did logging (for example, by sending a
statustext), we end up infinitely recursing.

I'm not aware of any instances in the code where this will actually
happen - but it could easily sneak in.
now that we persist logging for 15s after disarm we need to also delay
the log rotation if LOG_FILE_DSRMROT=1. Otherwise we will put the log
data into the next log, which defeats the purpose of the 15s
persistance
